> My daughter has bipolar. It's been pretty well controlled. The big problem we're having now is an escalation of chronic insomnia.

Geodon can produce insomnia. Does the emergence of insomnia coincide with Geodon treatment or dosage adjustments? Maybe she can take the second dose earlier in the day. Interesting thing - using salt for dysautonomia. I am guessing that bipolar disorder can aggravate dysautonomia via HPA axis activation.

Is the Geodon being used to prevent mania or as an antidepressant adjunct?

Have you tried low-dosage Seroquel yet?
