Brief Answer:
Consultation

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

Schizophrenia is treated with an atypical antipsychotic such as risperidone or olanzapine. OCD is treated with a high dose SSRI antidepressant such as sertraline or escitalopram. Insomnia would also be adequately treated with an atypical antipsychotic. Visit a psychiatrist in your area and ask about dual treatment with olanzapine and sertraline, this is my recommendation for you.

You will need to talk to your doctor to prescribe it. The only significant side effects are weight gain and sedation. Sedation will wear off after a number of days.
