In reply to Geodon not = to zyprexa, posted by Sebastian on October 25, 2005, at 12:45:05
Abilify might be worthy of consideration. It produces no weight gain. Yes, I would have to say that Zyprexa is second only to Clozaril for schizoid symptoms, but the weight gain can be a major drawback. I can't guarantee you that Abilify will be the equal of Zyprexa, but I can say that it is usually better than Geodon. If you choose to go with Abilify, just be aware that there can be a brief period of akathisia-like anxiety and insomnia as startup side effects. More often than not, these dissipate within a week or two.
