Well for starters, the cocktail of your meds doesn't make sense to me. It looks like a mix of 'uppers' and 'downers' together - and some might cancel each other's effect out. I'm surprised you 'only' gained 50 pounds on this cocktail, 'cause nearly every single one you mention can pack on the pounds (except Melatonine maybe).
For me, Trazodone and Abilify make anxiety & insomnia, tachycardia much worse! To me they feel like 'uppers'.
If you're looking to calm your senses, I would stick to Seroquel. On 400 mg before bedtime I would think the melatonin is unnecessary for sleep (but it probably won't harm anything).
I also tried TMS; effective for a few months, then peetered out all together. Then I switched to Seroquel - solely! On high dosages it pulls me through hard times. On a low dose (50 mg) I can get by in better times, with the odd benzo now and then...
