Hi Sebastian.
I just read in one of your other posts that you have already tried Abilify. What happened with that?
What about with Seroquel and Risperdal?
- Scott> Abilify might be worthy of consideration. It produces no weight gain. Yes, I would have to say that Zyprexa is second only to Clozaril for schizoid symptoms, but the weight gain can be a major drawback. I can't guarantee you that Abilify will be the equal of Zyprexa, but I can say that it is usually better than Geodon. If you choose to go with Abilify, just be aware that there can be a brief period of akathisia-like anxiety and insomnia as startup side effects. More often than not, these dissipate within a week or two.
