So, when do you plan to increase amisulpride and decrease Zyprexa? Once you've increased amisulpride up to about 150-200mg twice a day you might be able to start tapering off Zyprexa slowly. You don't really want to be on three antipsychotics. If you suffer symptoms like insomnia during reduction of Zyprexa it may be useful to add a sleep med on a short-term basis. I suspect that trazodone will not be useful since its sedative properties are mainly due to activity at receptors already blocked by Seroquel (and Zyprexa). A small dose of zopiclone could be used temporarily, perhaps.
Do you have diarrhoea? Perhaps you could use rehydration sachets and a little bit of loperamide.
If you haven't already, you should have an ECG due to being on so many antipsychotics.
