Hi I'm On Thorizine I Take 500mg For Sleep Aid.

Hi I'm on Thorizine I take 500mg for sleep aid. My Phyctrist knows and is prescribing me on that dose. My question dose it treat insomnia. Is it a strongest anti phycotic drug. Why isn't controlled. I'm also bipolar type 1 when I was hospilized that was giving to me to help me relax. I'm also take Ativan 2mg three times a day to help with my anxiety. Plus lithium 600mg three times a day also lamitical 200mg three times a day. When i go to the doctors tell them my meds and dosage the medical assistant is amazed that I can function not acting doped up. I only take my Thorizine 500mg at night right before I go to bed so I can stay asleep and sleep through the night. I'm finding myself still waking up in the middle of the night once or twice a night. I know I need to stay on my meds especially my lithium and lamitical I just feel like I'm over medicated. I was hospilized back in July because I was so crazy manic that I ended up in state custody so I had no choice but to be hospilized force to take these meds. I had been stable for 10 years my Phyctrist I had for 10 yrs retired so basically I ended up in the system saw others Drs they messed with my meds decreasing this adding this which at the end I was so confused and feeling sick all the time I just stop taking my meds that's when I got so manic never in my life I was like that. I did crazy shit I'm not proud of. Did a lot of damage. I'm only 41 I just hate taking these medication but after what happened in the summer I know I need them. I'm embrassed of the meds I'm on and the dosage I'm on that I just stop telling other doctors of the meds I'm on because I don't want them to think I'm some crazy person. Plus u Drs treat us differently once u know I'm bipolar and the meds I'm on. Bottom line these drugs cause serious side effects after long term use. Bottom line I've been thinking of seeing a homeopathic dr to test my mental illness. I hate saying mental illness. I accepted that I have a serious mental illness I never knew how serious bipolar is. Basically had a manic Pscyosis episode. Will seeing a homepathic dr is a good idea? My husband says no it won't bc I have to stay on these meds. I hate it. I admit once I feel normal I stop taking them because I feel like I don't need them. I just hate it because my husband is always on my case if I took them. Before he never was involved in my mental care what happened omg he never seen me act that way we been married 6 years. In 6 years never seen that side of me or seen that kind of crazy mania. I just want to find a alternative way to treat my bipolar. Is there a other way. I gained 30lbs I was 120lbs now I'm 155lbs. I feel self concious about my new body figure. Before my husband other people said I was way to skinny for my body frame. When they see me know everyone says I look so much better not like a bobble head. I hate how my body looks now. I know go to the gym. It's winter cold I do not function well in the winter I get severly depressed to the point I sleep and just can't get out of bed. I admit lately I have been taken my meds regulary finding myself more productive not as depressed. I hate taking these meds. I'm embrassed telling people I'm bipolar and my meds. Would seeing a homepathic dr would be beneficial and would home remedies will work?
