It was my experience that Risperdal produced significantly more adverse cognitive side effects than Zyprexa. If anything, Zyprexa cleared my head of some of the mental fog of depression. As Panda said, Risperdal seems to be devoid of ACh(m) blockade, but it can produce dry mouth. I have no idea what causes this. Risperdal worsened mental fog and made everything around me seem "distant". I felt somehow disconnected. This occured at a dosage of 1.5mg. Someone else I know reported a similar experience at dosages at or above 2.0mg. She has never taken Zyprexa to be able to offer a comparison. You won't know until you try, but I believe a common description of Zyprexa by people here on PB is that it allows them to think more clearly.
