I agree that gabapentin is worth a try. A few people react badly to it, though. It can produce persistent depression and cognitive dulling / brain fog.
Some people prefer small doses of Seroquel.
I can't see Geodon as being used as a PRN for anxiety, especially when lower dosages can be anxiogenic and produce insomnia. Is it worth a try? I guess so. Latuda might be a better choice, though, if either of these drugs work at all.
Hydoxyzine is a drug worth considering. You'll have to see to what degree you find it soporific.
Promethazine is a neglected drug.
