personally, I'd advise against an old-school antipsychotic b/c of the very real TD risk.
That said...since you're already on lithium as well, maybe you could try upping the lithium or adding a different mood stabilizer (depkoate, trileptal, tegretol) or switching out the lithium for an anticonvulsant-type mood stabilizer (depakote, trileptal, lamictal, etc.) Mood-stabilizer/antipsychotic combos work well for some people both in the schizophrenic/schizoaffective groups and the bipolar groups.
