Have you ever tried an old school antipsychotic at a really, really, really low dose?
Perphenazine, triavil (that's Elavil plus perphenazine), loxapine, low dose navane...
...or maybe something else entirely. I don't know why, but I randomly thought of Limbitrol (low dose Librium plus Elavil in one capsule).
I don't like having to take my antipsychotic (Abilify). I have to take a high dose because I'm apparently full on Bipolar.
With diabetes, mood issues, female gender, and your age involved, I'd want to try something that's not an antipsychotic first. At the very least, you should take antioxidants with your antipsychotic.
Seroquel xr isn't terrible, and the tardive dyskinesia risk is probably lower than Risperdal's.
Good luck!
