Perhaps someone can comment on the use of beta-blockers in your situation.

Zyprexa is the sublingual form of zydis.This form goes under the tongue and is not supposed to have any weight gain trouble or diabetes issues.Also i found a article that stated moderate doses of klonopin actualy act as a mood stablizer,i believe it klonopin a good two tabs always stops my rages.

You could increase Neurontin (Gabapentin) although use for anxiety is "off-label" it does seem very effective.
Since it is an off-label use, there aren't any dosage guidelines but in the past I was prescribed 600mg four times a day for anxiety. For me though I don't think that was any more effective than taking 300mg 3x a day.
90 300mg capsules should cost no more than $12 to $15.
PS how do you afford Abilify if price is a concern?
