Antipsychotics aren't for everyone. But they aren't just for psychosis either. They can be pretty effective with regard to stability. They're called major tranquilizers, but I feel no real tranquilizing effects with risperdal - not like klonopin or xanax. I tell my therapist that my risperdal is ego strength in a bottle.
I'm not trying to push them at all. There are health concerns, and they may not be appropriate for you. Some people may have different reactions to them. I've chosen to use them on an as needed basis because of the health concerns. But it might be worth discussing them with your psychiatrist. For what you're describing, I've found nothing near as effective.
