Carolyn, reading parts of your story, particularly your own sleep attacks and your sister's narcolepsy, makes me wonder if you've ever had a sleep study done. Disrupted sleep patterns can cause the sorts of problems you've described for yourself, and they might not necessarily be due to the meds you're own. In fact, matters could be somewhat turned around -- if you *do* have a sleep disorder, it can also contribute significantly to the severity of any depression you feel.
Anyway, if it hasn't occurred to you before, you might want to discuss it with your doctor. Hopefully, Noa will peek in here since she knows some great URLs for sites on the web that deal with sleep disorders, so you can get some more information on them.
cheers,
bob
