Geodon makes some people more agitated. If seroquel worked, maybe you could try it again, with Metformin and/or a weight-reducing drug (Adipex, Bontril, Didrex, Meridia, so on, so forth) added into the mix? Maybe drop the atypicals altogether and go for a higher dose of the benzo? .5mgs/Klonopin isn't much; lots of people take 1-3, and some people take more than that, so you have room to go up on that. Maybe a different AD? Weight gain would be an issue, but Surmontil might help--its a tricyclic that's kind of clozapine-esque. Its good for sleep and in high doses helps psychosis, so maybe that'd be an option.
Good luck!
