In reply to Re: Note on Zyprexa and Risperdal, posted by ChrisK on February 29, 2000, at 8:41:30
I was on risperdal at doses from 3mgs-6mgs/day for close to a year. (6mgs for mania). When my pdoc raised the risperdal during a manic episode about 6 months ago, it worsened my akathisia and actually made me more manic which brought in the mellaril. So I was switched to zyprexa after that when experiencing auditory hallucinations- it worked great at 15mgs/day, but I felt somewhat sedated (not as much as mellaril) and put on 10 pounds! in one month. Good luck with whatever you choose.
