Upon reading your question, I was instantaneously rendered incredulous! In fact, your query had me momentarily brain-numbed!
Heh-heh-heh
Have an awesome day!
By the way, "insaneness' is written as 'Insanity'.

Instantaneously is has to do with time - It's like quickly, but faster - literally in an instant. If you can use the word "quickly" in the same place without it sounding funny or not meaning what you want it to, you can use instantaneously.

"Instantaneously insane" is correct.
"The man turned instantaneously insane." works, although it would make more sense if you modified the verb: "The man instantaneously turned insane."
Instantaneously is an adverb that can modify both verbs and adjectives.
1. You could say, "The instantaneously warm soup burned my mouth."
2. You could say,"The warm soup instantaneously burned my mouth."
3. You could say, "Instantaneously, my heart collapsed." which modifies the entire clause, "my heart collapsed."
1. "The instantaneously(adverb) warm(adjective) soup(noun) burned(verb) my mouth(noun)."
2. "The warm(adjective) soup(noun) instantaneously(adverb modifing the verb) burned(verb) my mouth(noun)."

it means to happen immediately or quickly. So you can use it like this.. 'when i pushe the button on the tv, instantaneously it switches off'
