I would not replace the lamictal with the Geodon-it is not a mood stabilizer. When you're bipolar you want to be on a mood stabilizer then add things like antidepressants and antipsychotics to further treat remaining depressive and manic symptoms.
About being too hot or cold-you may or may not be on the geodon, however it seems to be a rare side effect of Geodon.
You dont necessarily need to be on 2 mood stabilizers unless your mood is still uneven on just one.
Most ADs can be given with Lamictal.
