Sertraline, Tianeptine, Aripiprazole, Escitalopram - all causing side-effects?

I wanted to ask is it normal for all those meds to cause the same side effect? Since I've been taking meds (I started with escitalopram, then took tianeptine, now taking sertraline and aripiprazole) and all of them cause me to wake up several times at night. This never happened before. And since I wake up at night, I am very tired at daytime.
Also, since taking sertraline and aripiprazole, I've been having mild sweating at night. It's not enough to wet my sheets or anything, it's just that I am a little sweaty when I wake up.

Is having these side effects normal? Since all these meds cause me side effects, my psychiatrist is going to prescribe new meds. But since I've already tried so many, are there any meds left to prescribe for my anxiety? Have any of you had experiences with meds that DON'T cause any noticable side effects?

Thanks in advance.

All meds can have side effects. There's no way around that. Some of us have very mild side effects and some have more severe ones.
I wish I could recommend a med for you but I can't. Something I do well on does not mean you will do well on it too. We're all so different and respond to the same med differently.
It looks like you've tried the older tricylic (sp)? meds. Sorry, I'm a terrible speller at times. Have you tried an SSRI or SNRI ? These meds can have less side effects than the older meds.
I hope you find something that helps you with less side effects. Take care. Remar
