I am looking for a typical antipsychotic that works closest to being like Zyprexa/olanzapine. Even though Zyprexa took a number of negative symptoms away from me, my metabolism, heart, massive weight gain, especially my diabetes, put me too close to death on Zyprexa. Now, Risperdal works okay, but my doc is willing to add another anti-psychotic, a tyoical one. I have tried Haldol and fluphenzaine(sp?) Thanks in advance for any help.

What about perphenazine (Trilafon)?I would have suggested sulpiride or amisulpride for negative symptoms, but they might raise prolactin too much. Still, this might be worth looking into.

perphenazine or low, low-dose loxapine.

I take perphenazine and zyprexa. I've tried all the AAPs except seroquel,and perphenazine is the closest to zyprexa. I've been taking it for 4 years now. Zyprexa for 14 years. I will say that perphenazine didn't replace the zyprexa, but makes a nice add on. Also makes it posible to take less zyprexa.
