Welcome. You're not a downer. Caffeine is a dangerous stimulant, and the drop off of energy can be very depressing. Not sleeping and trying to find meds that work seem to go hand in hand. Many, many, many people had depression over the holidays. Very few people are rich, and it's like all the advertisements are saying 'you're not good enough unless you go into debt/spend money you don't have to experience the happiness of this gadget that will be obsolete long before you have finished paying off your credit cards'.
I hope you find a good medication match that helps and lets you sleep. Valerian root can be helpful, but you want to talk to your doctor to see if there is an interaction with your current meds.
