seroquel and lamictal are both used for schizophrenia and bipolar and have a smaller weight gain potential than many of the other atypical antipsychotics. over the counter melatonin or benadryl can sometimes help a person fall asleep. if that does not work for you hypnotic sedatives like ambien and lunesta can be effective. however these are short-term alternatives and eventually you will have to resolve whatever is causing you to not sleep. good luck!
