Hello, and thanks for your question.

To expand on my earlier answer, other antipsychotics you can try for schizophrenia and insomnia include:

quetiapine
aripiprazole
lurasidone
asenapine
haloperidol
clozapine

Any of these would likely help you.

Additional antidepressants you could try for OCD include:

paroxetine
fluvoxamine
clomipramine

Please reach out with any questions about any of these.

Hello, and thanks for your question.

Schizophrenia is treated with an atypical antipsychotic such as risperidone or olanzapine. OCD is treated with a high dose SSRI antidepressant such as sertraline or escitalopram. Insomnia would also be adequately treated with an atypical antipsychotic. Visit a psychiatrist in your area and ask about dual treatment with olanzapine and sertraline, this is my recommendation for you.
