I doubt any of the medications you were taking were causing sleep problems. Insomnia usually stems from the illnesses you suffer and getting them under control contributes greatly to sleep quality. If I were to choose a medication from those you're taking, I would say it was the Effexor. Lithium and amytryptaline both promote sleep. Of the medications you took to sleep, only lorazepam seems helpful. Melatonin has not been shown to be an effective sleep promoting agent and Cyproheptadine has no indications for sleep.
