I also think your on way too much crap that may harm you more than help you in the long run. If you find yourself worse than before you started taking all these meds, the meds may be part of your problem. I'm sure things were complicated with you that is why the doctor was trying everything you are on now. I had a major major mixed episode a year and a half ago. I could not sleep more than 3 hours a night. I was constantly pacing and talking really fast about thing I regretted. My mind and body where in fast motion. I had so much anxiety and aggitation I simply couldn't bear it. In the hospital they gave me Depakote and Zyprexa. That was it. It actually worked pretty well for a while. Why am I telling you this? Well, I guess because I think you are way over medicated.
Any time I have been on a benzo, not only did I not sleep well, but I seemed to have a harder time stabilizing while I was on it. Once I was able to get off the benzo, it became clear that it was more of a short term fix that was interfering with me finding a long term solution. This may or may not apply to you..JMHO I could just be talking out of my *ss right now
