Seroquel usually works for me, with trazodone thrown in to keep me asleep. Have you tried melatonin? I never had much success with melatonin alone but I did OK when I took it with valerian (that was when I was pregant and off psych meds). Valerian is an herb that stinks to high heaven though.
I actually have an appointment with him this Thursday so I'll bring it up to him then. I haven't tried melatonin. Seroquel worked for me too but I got off of it due to weight gain. And switched to thorazine
