I agree with med_empowered. I think antipsychotics of any kind should be avoided except in serious schizophrenia. Even in those cases, I think depakote and other mood stabilizers should be tried first for longterm use, with short term antipsychotic use for immediate control. Longterm antipyschotic use often results in problems worse than the original. Depending on how many years someone is on an antipsychotic, the odds of developing other neurological problems approahes 100%. Can they help though? Most definitely. And almost immediately.

If someone is going to be on a medication for a long time to control SA, I would much rather see them on an ssri that works and they can live with, a benzo that works and they can live with, a low/medium dose mood stabilizer such as lithium or depakote, or any combination of these meds.

But, these are just opinions.
