Hi:
I am NOT able to comprehend about his pdoc.'s intention, ... not offering any remedy for his insomnia. At least, some alternative med. or some form of suggestion on this.However, in my 'pure' guessing, ... maybe his pdoc. wants to see your husband's progress WITHOUT any psycho.med. If he's able to function/live 'normally' without psycho. meds., then his pdoc. might rule out 'a complete remission.' However, in my personal view/opinion, it's quite scary NO med. at all in his system as knowing he was once on the 15 mg. Zyprexa that is 'mass' dosage. Recommended dosage for Bp II is said to be around 5 mg.
If I were you, ... probably I would get a second opinion from another psycho.doc., even a family doc. for 'just in case' basis.
I totally understand your concern over your husband's current 'BIG' problem, 'insomnia.'
H.G.
