Abilify is another drug in the same class without sedation. I usually give it at 2.5 - 5mg a day for impulsivity, dissociation, anger/rage. The antipsychotics in low doses for people with these types of problems are sometimes known as 'ego-glue' as it frequently helps patients feel more in control. Geodon is another choice at around 20mg, a minority of people though find it sedating. I tried about 20mg of Geodon when it first came out and felt awful for about 24hours. Most of my patients report good luck with it though.
