Default sleep apnea & rozerm & ambien

I have severe sleep apnea, I'm on a CPAP machine that does nothing but keep me from falling asleep or wakes me up once I fall asleep at which point I just rip it off. I've already had all the sleep test done. I've been treated for years for anxiety, dysthymia, and major depression some of which I feel is a result of the sleep problems. I'm to the point where I'm taking 12.5mg Ambien CR and 8mg Rozerem before bed and many nights still never get to sleep. I average 2 to 3 hours on a good night. I've even tried a few beers with the meds and can lay there just staring at the ceiling. My psychiatrist has run out of ideas in treating me she's stumped so we've stopped all mental health meds but my sleep dr just keeps adding more sleep meds. I ****py from so many sleep meds but no sleep. My question is should I see a neurologist since all my research and other symptoms point towards a hypothalamus problem. I've asked all my dr's if it could be my hypothalamus but none was sure enough to touch the idea.
