Ace,
Zyprexa causes weight gain for sure. Risperdal does not, usually. MIMI

> This is the big issue - I was big on Zyprexa UNTIL I heard of the withdrawal reaction. I read someone didn't sleep for 5 days! And there are other insomnia posts. I can't go without my sleep because it makes the derealization severe and anxiety.
>
> Risperidone doesn't seem to be as bad on withdrawal. And there are many trials (But not as many as Zyprexa) supporting it's use as an augmentative agent in OCD.
>
> What do you guys think? Would Zyprexa definately bring on insomnia on withdrawal. Help, cause this is ALL that is stopping me from using it. I have slept well with Nardil - would this counteract Zyprexa's insomnia?
>
> What about Risperidone? Any withdrawal? How about I take the Zyprexa dose at morning (mane)?

> Please help.
