Sorry to hear of your trouble,

Here is some suggestions,

1. Zyprexa- up to 10/15mg
2. Elavil
3. Mogadon - up to 10mg
4. Thioridazine- up to 150mg

You are taking Risperidal right? This med is not actually a sleeping agent- I have heard of it causing insomnia- you would be far better off swapping that with Zyprexa in my opinion. Also, it may help a lot with your depression. Also, you could probably drop a lot of the other meds when the Zyprexa works (and it will kick in straight away).

Ace.
