Jan, I feel so bad for you. I wish you could get a real good night's sleep. Whatever the case, it is absolutely not your fault. If there is a finger to be pointed at anyone, it is at the doctor. I think as much as they are paid, your doctor is at a point right now with you where he should be going the extra mile and really putting a serious effort into figuring out what is going on. Much more so than the average appointment.
Prozac causes insomnia, especially early in treatment. I always needed a sleep aid with it, whether it was remeron or zyprexa or ambien or whatever.
What drugs have you NOT tried? That is the place to look I think. Stuff like Depakote ER, remeron, whatever? Something that can calm the mind without having insomnia as a common side effect, and something that has a different mode of action from things you've tried.
