April - you really should consult the doc before going up in dose with any med. If for no other reason than you may run out before your script is up, and he won't understand why.

If you cannot get in to see him at least call.

Lady - I was in the same boat. I was on 9-10 meds and started getting worse. Had a big flare of insomnia on top of everything, could not sleep more than a couple hours for months.

Got off everything I took daily but topamax (and kept my migraine rescue for as needed use).

I only take two meds daily, still. Guess if the meds actually worked and did not create worse side effects than the original problem, they'd be worth taking - until then, this is how I do it.
