APs can act as mood stabilizers- many people with bipolar take APs even though not psychotic.
Can you try adjusting the times you take them so that the extreme drowsiness doesn’t interfere so much with your life? If it is a newer med for you, the side effect may improve with time. You could also contact your pdoc, as they may be able to adjust the dosage (etc) to help with the drowsiness.
