has he been given a trial of a benzo-type tranquilizer (valium, klonopin, etc.) ? Those will help ease any akathisia and/or increased anxiety from the meds as well as ease some that may result from the psychosis itself.
Has he ever gone through a neuroleptic-free period, to re-*sses the situation?
Instead of using low-dose zyprexa for sleep, has your doc though about an actual sleeping pill, sedating antihistamine, or sedating antidepressant?
Good luck.
