Hi sdjeff:
It sounds to me like you have 'sensitivity' issue to 'SSRIs'/almost all of SSRIs and other psycho.-meds. with some 'stimulant' effect that exactly falls on 'Geodon' and 'Abilify.' Lithium is made mostly of 'salt'/sodium componetns/substances, ... in my knowledge from the reading and personal experience because of the thirst urge almost 24 hours' period, ... then your system/body is certainly rejectiing to all of those 'foreign' substances.
As you might have known about most of psycho. meds. they seem to have 'potent' issues in order to work for or assimilate good to the chemical of our brains. For that reason, some has 'strong' rejection to those meds., ... then the med. resistance like your case needs more than psycho-pharmacologist, if your pdoc. not able to handle it.
The place where I live, ... one of the biggest cities in USA, there is something like 'experimental med. program' (I just cannot remember the name for this momentarily tho' ...), then you may ask your pdoc. straightforwardly whether your case is available to a program/similar to this or any other place/authority, because as you are already admitting, it seems very hard for you and your pdoc. to find the right med./med. combo.
Just my suggestion through my personal knowledge as to psycho. meds. through the years.
H.G.
