I made the switch from zyprexa to geodon and like you I couldn't sleep and was reved up all the time. Also it did nothing for my schitzoaffective disorder and I was constantly paranoid and thinking the neighbors were talking to me through the walls. This is when I started smoking pot just to deal with it. I as on very high doses of geodon, as high as 60mg x5 a day, and mostly on 60mg x4 a day. Then I tried abilify and totaly lost my mind doses as high as 15mg, doc sugested 30mg but I flat out refused. Now I'm back on zyprexa and greatly improving. I also started perphenazine 12mg x3/day. Which with the zyprexa is a great combo. You might try the perphenazine, it won't cause weight gain and is sedating. If I were you I would go back on seroquel. I'm not sure but I wonder if the perphenazine is countering the weight gain from zyprexa. I gained a bunch of weght when I went back on zyprexa, but for the last 2 years I've maintained my weight and now losing weight. With no problem.
