Dear lybrate-user,
Insomnia may be an early warning sign of mania or a symptom of depression. If the cause is treated, then you can sleep well. You may not need a separate treatment for insomnia. You are already taking alprax 0.5 mg which also serves as a sedative. There can be other causes for insomnia. Those need to be looked into. Please follow up with your psychiatrist.

Dear lybrate-user: Lithium carbonate should only be taken under close supervision of a physician. It is easy to get toxicity and thyroid and kidney tests should be done regularly as long term use of lithium use. Also, there is no scientific evidence that lithium helps with OCD. There are several safe medications that can help with OCD.
