I'd phone your doctor and see about getting off of this combo of meds AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. It sounds like you're headed RIGHT TO MANIA..
And don't let the thought of adding Adderall enter your mind. It will send you straight up.
I took the exact same mix of meds as you 2 years ago. I took 20mg of Lexapro and 40mg of Geodon at night. After few days, I got excitation and felt wayyy on top of the world; doing the same stuff that you're doing. I have a somewhat similar diagnosis as you basically. Eventually, I got hypomanic and was on my way to the moon. Month later, Full Blown mania surfaced, and I had a BAD manic attack. I never ever had those even untreated.
After all this crap, my cycling became more ultradian in nature, and it WORSENED PERMANENTLY even 2 years after discontinuing that mix. Come to find, it was the GEODON that caused the permanent worsening of my bipolar. I took Lexapro alone another time, and it was very good itself. My doctor gave me Geodon one time to take since I got depressed because Lexapro hadn't kicked in fully. Anyway, It's been a bear to get me stable again after that fiasco.
I'm warning you, though..You need to talk with your doctor ASAP. I don't want the same thing to happen with you that happened to me. If you catch this early and fix this, then the same thing won't happen with you.
Good luck..
