Mental Health

My brother is an autistic. Since this lockdown he is unable to go to school and his schedule is ruined and now he has become supe hyper and his sleep wake schedule is also ruined. He sleeps at 9:30pm and wakes up around 2-3 am or sometimes 12 am thinking it's morning now and shouts and cries us to do our morning routine prepare breakfast and bath freshen up. Due to this we are also not able to sleep at all.

I had developed a habit of waking up till late night n consequently over a period of time I developed insomnia. when it became severe I started taking alprazolam to sleep. Now it has been more than 2 years taking it, I had started with a dose of 0.5 mg n Today I need to take 2 Mg. I am aware that this much dose is too high n may cause unpleasant outcomes in long run. I seen a psychiatrist in bangalore.I was given CBT which I felt unneccesary after coming out of his chamber coz I felt whatever he said was positive, motivating for a person but I didn't need that. He charged me a lot for that CBT. Prescribed Sertraline n etizolam which I could not tolerate bcoz of horrible headache.Escitalopram didn't help. Mirtazapine was too strong.Now on Paroxetine LS 25 mg for one n half month but no improvement in sleep. I still need to take that high dose of anxit to sleep.Maano khud ko behosh karna padta hai.Naturally sona kya hota hai main bhool hi gaya. Any advice on how can I restore my sleep?

Few years back I used to read a lot of books,i used to finish  whole book within 3 or 4 days sometime within a day but now I am not able to focus while reading, after reading few pages I feel sleepy or literally  unable to understand what I am reading ,sometimes headache. Other then that i am not even concentrate while watching (t.v ,movies) i get bored .what to do . It is happening for 10 to 12 months. Note- everything is fine in my life no stress at all.

I can't sleep at night, it's been happening for weeks, when I try to sleep my facial muscles are not relaxing and I feel restless, just when I enter sleep phase vivid dreams engulf me,so vivid that I could not tolerate it and wake up thirstly and full of sweat.

Until when I need to have the pill, I'm taking it for 5 days and I'm feeling better...but I have depression issue since 10 years.
