I guess it all comes down to how desperate you are and which types of meds you and you doctor are willing to try. I currently take Remeron plus 1 mg clonazepam and that works quite well for 8-9 hours of sleep. Whether or not this will continue to work I do not know. If it poops out, I will have to go back on Zyprexa and wean off the benzo. Some people also have success with Seroquel. Be warned that the antipsychotics come with some heavy duty side effects such as weight gain and possible diabetes 2. TD is also a concern but not so much at lower doses. It's easy to get trapped on the med merry-go-round.
