I think neuroleptics/tranquilizers/"antipsychotics" should be reserved for people who need them. If there's a strong psychotic component to your problems, then yes, I'd say your probably need a neuroleptic. If not...I'd avoid them. I say this as someone who takes 30mgs/Abilify per day, because of recurrent psychotic depression.
The risk of permanent side effects is very real. My personal advice would be to take Pristiq and deal with the constipation. I've found that very high dose vitamin c helps with that.
I hope you find something safe and effective.
