Please see your Psychiatrist for an evaluation of medication. Once your meds are stabilized if you still have insomnia you may need a sleep study. Have a physical examination to know if your symptoms are from a physical illness. A Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy can help. If you are not confident in your Psychiatrist please see another for a second opinion.
