I read that you tried anticonvulsants. Did you try Tegretol (carbamazepine)? Tegretol is often chosen for anger and aggression issues, but can produces sedation. I have seen it work. With Tegretol, frequent blood tests are required to screen for agranulocytosis. A related drug, Trileptal (oxcarbazepine), might also work, although it has not been studied as closely as Tegretol has. Trilelptal is generally not sedating, and does not require regular blood-tests. You might want to have your electrolytes checked every now and then. Although infrequent, hyponatremia (low sodium) is a possibility. It can be treated by increasing salt intake and remaining well hydrated.

I guess it makes sense to try Trileptal first and then switch to Tegretol if necessary.

Valerian root is an herb that might help.
