Disappearing milk...

Ds is 5.5 months and was exclusively breastfed until 4.5 months, I then started introducing formula with the aim of getting to the point where I could feed her morning and evening, but day time would be bottles. I did this with ds and carried on b/f easily for a few more months before stopping altogether. This time however, my milk seems to be disappearing - I hardly seem to have anything by the evening and have to top ds up with frozen stocks of b/m or formula. Now the morning full boobs seem to be going the same way. Is this a common problem? Any suggestion of how I can increase my milk supply, without going back to expressing (I've expressed so much over the last months I think my pump is about to die on me!)? I am v. stressed at the moment, my father died in the summer and we have been trying to sell our flat for 18 months, so I'm sure that is not helping. Any thoughts, or info about combined feeding would be appreciated.
