Insomnia/sleeplessness

I constantly find myself troubled, worried and unsatisfied with how  my life is, work wise and personally. I do not get sleep due to the same reason. I try reading books, binge watching some shows but nothing helps.I have these issues of anxiety and restlessness on and off and it doesn't go away. Sometimes I wonder what's wrong with me. Could you suggest if it's just a passing phase or could be a problem? I can't talk to my parents about it and my friends don't think it's an issue.

Alternative to Risperidone?

Hello Doctor, I am on Zisper LS 2mg morning and 4mg at night also Oleanz 5mg BD, Sulpitac 200 BD and Oxetol XR 600 BD. This is the second time i have been prescribed Risperidone. It makes me drowsy and i cannot concentrate, makes me more anxious and i am feeling helpless as i am unable to do anything. Its been 1 week and my practitioner says it would take a little time to get used to it. Would there be an alternative to Risperidone which does not have such side effects. Please suggest.

Bipolar Disorder Treatment without med

I am diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 2 last year and was on med (lithium 600 mg), Etizolam .5mg and setraline 100 mg. Last month My blood report revealed kidney issue and urologist asked to stop lithium. My phsycatric put me on 50 mg setraline and .5 etizolam and asked to stop all post one month. I feel mood swings again. My cycle is and was so rapid that it changes almost every two days , sometime one day. I someday feel all good and productive and other day afraid, anxious and irritated I don't really wish to take medication and want this issue to stop. Is there some alternative , I can try ? Like in naturopathy or counselling that can help?

Depression meds(psychiatrist)

I have been to 3 psychiatrists till now. I have taken ssri, snri, benzo, atypical antipsychotic but nothing helped me much. The protocol mostly followed in India for depression is: 1.Escitalopram 2.Escitalopram+atypical antipsychotic 3.fluoxetine+atypical antipsychotic 4.SSRI+SNRI+Atypical antipsychotic *Benzo-when needed for a month After this therapy is given more significance as they know tricyclic and MAOIs doesn't help much. Everything fails and it is said that u need to maintain your depression for ur whole life. Why u people make us suffer so much if u don't have good treatment. Some say that it is completely treatable and some say that it needs to be managed but no one knows what is going to happen. This leads to seeing new doctor and more and more frustration. Please give me a detail answer about this.
