Noa - Zeldox (ziprasidone) is another atypical antipsychotic. It can cause heart problems, so it may not make it to market in the U.S. and Canada. I think it is believed not to cause the weight gain of Zyprexa or the EPS and prolactin increases of Risperidone, while maintaining the efficacy of these agents. I would like to see it used in clinical practice before making any definitive claims on it though, and it looks like I may not be able to do that any time soon (sigh). Hope this helps - Cam W.
