Hi R,

So, do you have a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder? You mentioned schizoaffective in passing, is that 'official'?

I don't think you're resistant to Zyprexa. The issue is that your meds are not doing exactly what you want them to do, which is common. The dreamy state you describe after taking Zyprexa suggests that the effects are actually quite strong, but that the effects are not entirely desirable.

The fact that you are no longer paranoid leads me to believe that either a) your meds, especially Zyprexa, are working against psychosis, or b) your paranoid was associated with your misuse of stimulants in the past, and this is no longer occurring.

I don't think Topamax would help you. It doesn't really target any of the symptoms you describe.

Here's a question....

If you were to take a 'magic' pill which made you better..... How would you feel on that vs what you feel like at the moment? I'm not saying anything magic is available, I'm trying to understand what you want from any med changes/adjustments.
