My sleep doc (I have a benign case of sleep apnea) is a pulmnologist at Beth Israel in Boston, and leads the research on ADD+Sleep disorder coorelations. He says he finds good success with Provigil + Strattera COMBINED.
Maybe you should try Adderall, and if that doesn't work, Desoxyn is the favorite of sleep docs. But no matter what you take, maximize your antidepressant/antipsychotic or whatever regimen you take, because mood is the biggest factor in helping you feel more awake, regardless of your sleep disorder.
I hope you've gotten a sleep study, to rule out apnea. I have a very benign case, but get a BiPAP machine anyway.
You SHOULD explore Cymbalta, because it really does help so many with energy and motivation and you might notice an effect in 1-2 weeks with peek effect in just 4 weeks. You're on a very low-tech drug, and I think you should at least try adding Cymbalta to the mix.
Don't rely on stimulants alone to pull you through. Switching or uping their doses does help, but not forever. Trust me. Been there, done that.
