Kerry, Abby,
What really happened with the antipsychotics? How long were you using them before the side effects showed up? I would expect from the description given that Zyprexa or Risperdal would be one of the best choices for your condition. I'm not personally familiar with Sterazine. For all I know it may be in the same family but you may want to look at Seroquel also.
As far as an anxiolytic, I would reccomend Klonpin (clonazepam) as a good choice. It is very smooth acting and has a long half life compared to some of the other Benzo's.
Overall I'd say that the voices indicate the need for an antipsychotic above anything else. Sometimes it takes a couple of weeks to get through the initial side effects but can be worth the wait.
