I don't know if this helps at all, TJ, but I have no psychotic symptoms but have been on antipsychotics for my depression and anxiety in the past. They were using them off-label in an attempt to find a drug, any drug, to help. I had been on just about everything else. The side effects were negligible.
That said, I agree with others that if you don't feel you need a certain medication, you should speak up. I know that can be hard, especially when you are feeling so bad, but in the end, no one wants to be on medicine they think they don't need.
