I'd have to agree that an antipsychotic would help. Psychosis??? I don't understand where your doctor got that... But, I have tried Zyprexa, Risperdal, Seroquel, Abilify and Geodon. The one that I had the best results on was Abilify. I didn't find it to be sedating at all!! I started out on 10 mgs and worked up to 15 mgs. Geodon caused me to develope akathesia, which is a sort of restlessness (I guess is a way to describe it??). It is very uncomfortable, to say the least!! The only thing that I have to say about Zyprexa is that I found it to be very sedating personally. When I took it, I was knocked out within the hour. And I put on some weight from taking it. I didn't find Abilify to be sedating at all, and found no side effects from it. But, I can tolerate medications fairly easily as well. Geodon didn't produce any side effects either, aside from the akathesia. But, this is my personal experience, and bear in mind that I tolerate medication VERY well!!
I'd try an antipsychotic!!
