I don't think this 3-drug combo is all that uncommon. Lexapro and Adderall taken together may cause hypomania or full-blown mania in anyone. I'd say drop either Lexapro or Adderall. Keep the one that offers you the greatest benefit. Of course, don't make any changes yourself without first talking to your pdoc.
In my opinion, I don't think that Geodon is responsible for inducing mania. The reason is that Geodon is FDA approved to treat manic episodes in bipolar disorder. You're mileage may vary. Anyway, if you continue to take Adderall then Geodon may actually prevent the switch to hypomania/mania [if you're susceptible or predisposed to it].
Hope this helps. Good luck!
fyi - I take regular Adderall 5mg up to 4x/day and Seroquel 100mg at bedtime. It's working well for me so far...
