> scott have you tried zyprexa? i seem to be fairly similar to you in background and meds tried, and zyprexa has been significantly different than geodon and abilify for me. zyprexa at 5mg made abilify 10mg and geodon 120mg look like a sugar pill.

> yeah, there's weight gain, but i don't think that's a reason to suffer!I tried Zyprexa once. I think I started at 10mg. I experienced a brief improvement in the first week, and then watched it disappear. Raising the dosage did not help. However, I have not combined Zyprexa with the same drugs I am currently taking, so I guess it must remain as an alternative.
Thanks, Uncouth.
