I am diagnosed with tourette syndrome finally after 19 years of continuous medication. The doctor prescribed me risperidone 2 mg, aripiprazole 15 mg and zoldem/zolp 20 mg. But this medication has caused me insomnia. Initially I used to lay down whole night but no sleep. I get only 3 to 4 hours sleep now. My question is can I replace zoldem with serenace/haldol 5 mg?

Insomnia can happen due to many reasons. The most common reason is stress or illness. Temporary stress due to changes in job, relationships, death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. If you feel like it is due to medication, you should discuss it further over a call along with your complete medical history. Thanks.
