Maybe: Your list of medications indicates that in addition to Geodon (ziprasidone) you are also taking trazodone. While it is only approved for depression its most common use is for sleep. Perhaps you need a dose adjustment of the medications you are on now before a change in medication.

INSOMNIA: Getting good night's sleep is important for physical & mental health. Insomnia might be due to several reasons. Have a physical exam to rule out illness. If cleared consult with a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy that helps you benefit from medication prescribed by a Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. seek 2nd opinion. You may need a sleep study.
