Tell your doctor: Not sure for what condition you are being treated. You state depression but have been started on anti-anxiety medication and an anti-psychotic (Abilify). Let your doctor know that you can't stay awake. Ask about use of antidepressant medication and if he is using the Abilfy mood stabilizer prior to adding an antidepressant (for Bipolar ?) . The treatment should not be worse than the disease.
