In reply to Alternative to Zyprexa? Abilify? Risperdal? Other?, posted by DanielJ on July 15, 2004, at 11:29:54

I have never tried Zyprexa, but I have tried a few of the other antipsychotic medications. I'm currently taking Geodon and Risperdal for my psychosis (hearing voices). The voices are 100% gone, so this must be working. I've noticed a bit of weight gain from the Risperdal. I haven't noticed any from the Geodon. Both Risperdal and Geodon are sedating, although over time, I've gotten used to it and have been able to stay awake longer.

I used to take Abilify before I started with Geodon. Abilify was very activating to me. It made me agitated. I didn't gain any weight on Abilify, I probably lost some. I swapped it out due to the extreme agitation.
