Ummm...I dunno. Lamdage has a point, of course. 50mgs of pharmaceutical grade amphetamines could potentially de-stabilize anybody, especially w/ mood elevators in the mix.
Reduce the adderall? Switch to Ritalin? Try going without Rx stimulants? Parnate can cause insomnia, too.
Latuda is very $$$ and I think its big draw is that it helps Bipolar depression and doesn't cause much weight gain. I seem to recall reading that the EPS profile isn't so great, so that's kind of worrisome.
I'm hardly one to encourage uppers+downers use...its not the 50s, you know. But...if Ambien isn't working, could you try Restoril for a short while? 30mgs Restoril could knock me down even when I'd been on other BZD drugs and Ambien had stopped working. I seem to recall reading that some docs will Rx phenobarbital for night time use. I don't know what that's about, but it does seem like another way to combat insomnia.
What else...well, to me, it seems that all that Geodon should be more than enough neuroleptic. I mean, you only have so many D2 receptors. Maybe neurontin, lyrica...I seem to recall reading that some docs even use phenergan as a sedative. Oh, yeah...hydroxyzine (Vistaril, atarax). I don't much care for it, but some people swear by it...lower doses during the day for tension, higher doses at night as a sedative.
Good luck.
