BPD usually occurs with other mood disorders. So medication is used to treat the mood disorders, and therapy is used to treat the BPD.

I take Lexapro for depression, Lamictal for mood stabilizer, Ativan for anxiety attacks, and Ambien for insomnia.

Typically, antipsychotics are not used to treat anyone with BPD because they come with a lot of side effects. The worst medications for BPD are MAOI's. The class of medication that has shown the best results for people with BPD are SSRI's.

But still, therapy is best for BPD. Most say specifically DBT.
