>I am back on zyprexa as I had terrible akathisia on Latuda at even the lowest dose. Zyprexa is good for anxiety but of course weight gain is an issue that my doctor said can be curbed with metformin. He did say we could try Saphris but he did say Saphris can cause akathisia as well. Have you heard that? Thanks.
Yes, Saphris sometimes causes akathisia, especially at higher doses. It was seen in clinical trials before launch.
Metformin is one possibility for helping to reduce the weight gain and risk of metabolic disturbances. Do you have any physical health problems or take any other meds?
