> When my seretonin drops, my sleep won't trigger and I feel a little anxiety, but not much. I am trying the AD's because Effexor did work in the past when this exact same thing happened and my sleep was back to normal within 2 weeks.

If your doctor had been smart, he wouldn't have mentioned his suspicion about the placebo effect and would have given you a placebo to validate his suspicions. Maybe that's poor medical practice, but it would have proven your point.
If it's really only your sleep that concerns you, maybe you could try some melatonin or tryptophan. Remeron is also a pretty good AD for sleep, and works in low doses.
If SSRIs cause you problems, I wonder if tianeptine would help. It has the opposite effect on serotonin (enhances reuptake).
Lastly, what does it mean for your sleep to "trigger?" Are you saying that you don't get sleepy/fall asleep, or that your sleep isn't useful/rewarding.
