Did these symptoms just start for you after you started Fanapt? If they did, I would get a hold of your prescribing doctor right away and tell him/her about the symptoms that you've been experiencing. It might be the case that the 20 mg of Zyprexa that you're taking (which is a lot of antipsychotic to begin with) with the 16 mg of Fanapt that you just added is too much for you. If you just started experiencing the symptoms that you're reporting here since adding Fanapt to your regimen, your prescribing doctor needs to know about the reaction that you're having.
