Your doctor certainly likes antipsychotics!
You're already on a low potency sedating antipsychotic: Seroquel - and lots of it, as well as Zyprexa. It is an unusual choice to add a third antipsychotic for sleep in someone already on two antipsychotics. What's his logic?
So, how bad is your depression right now? And how bad is your insomnia (when not attempting to reduce Zyprexa)? Are you hearing any voices, experiencing any paranoia or suffering any other psychosis-like symptoms?
