Hi... I suppose the antidepressant you are consuming is prescribed by a Psychiatrist. If not, please consult one before consuming such medications.
Typically, issues with sleeping alone are rooted in fear, grief, hormones, habit. They also suggest a possibility of some repressed subconscious issue. Dream Analysis may help you get better insights.
Also, since sleeping alone or with someone is a habit, which means it is learnt, so it can always be unlearned or relearned.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
Psychoanalysis along with Lifestyle Changes and Supportive Counselling is required.
