I'm not sure what you want a barbituate for. What are your symptoms and diagnonsis, that might help people give you some better advice. Do you have attention deficit hyperactive problems, or gad? It can be frustrating to feel like you are being given lots of meds that do wierd things. I hope it can be worked out for you.
Lithium helps with a particular kind of 'crazy' - mostly, people who experience weeks of being over top, mania, and then long stretches of depression - bipolar.
As for methylphenidate making you sleepy, do you mean once your dosage wears off? I think thats pretty common. You may want to talk to your doctor about taking part of it at noon to spread it out more and avoid the rebound. Also, taking lots of benzos and seroquel will make you really sleepy. Perhaps that the problem, and the stimulant is just hiding it.
