Suggest Treatment For Insomnia While Having Depression

I am a bipolar patient and have recently had my dosage for folic acid up to 4mg a day to help with some of the depression that has recently increased. I am also on dalmane and am not sleeping but probably less than 4 hours a night and that are not all together. Do you have any suggestions?

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is psychological problem so consult a clinical psychologist for counseling and on his recommendation consult a psychiatrist. For all problem consult a treating doctor and do not change the doses of drug without consultation.
