I might see about getting off the Thorazine next time I talk to my doctor and increasing the perphenazine a little bit. Then I’d just be on 2 APs instead of 3. My doctor wanted to prescribe ambien for sleep but my insurance wouldn’t cover it and I can’t afford to pay for it myself.

Yes, the sleep thing can be really challenging. I was completely off Seroquel (finally!), but lately I've occasionally taken 12.5mg for sleep. I don't want to be on it at all...but the sleep is sure nice.
I was on Ambien some years ago and it didn't much help me sleep. But one night I got online and gave a friend an old cell phone number of mine. I asked her to call me. The next day she said she had tried to call me, but the number wasn't correct. I said...What are you talking about? It was 100% freaky! I had zero memory of the entire communication - and why I gave her an old phone number, I have no idea.
Never touched Ambien again.
I've heard of other people having black-outs on Ambien, but it helps some people, too, I realize.
