Not benzos: Benzos are rarely the answer, especially for a chronic or recurring condition. You need to be i under the care of a psychiatrist. This sounds too complicated to be addressed on the web.

Mood stable -xanax: Keep diary to try to find out what sets you off once per week. If xanax (alprazolam) works try to fractionate dose e.g. 1/4 to 1/2 tab. This dose once per week is safer than having the delusional episodes. Try hard to find out what triggers the attacks.
