Like what some of the others have stated. It is quite common to prescribe a antipsychotic for anxiety. Many people take them for non psychotic problems. They are some of the most prescribed medications out there, just behind statins. You might want to be aware of some of the side effects though. All medications have side effects, and the chances of getting them are slim, so i wouldn't be afraid of taking an AP. I take a low dose of one with no problems.
