Greg --
I have the same problem as you. I tried Zyprexa and gained lots of weight. It didn't do as much for me as I had hoped. My pdoc had me try Risperdol and it really works. I take 2mg at bedtime, which helps me sleep which is a major problem for me even on AD's. When things get worse I just adjust the dose as needed. I do let my doctor know when I adjust it so he is aware that I'm having problems.Having problems with "out of touch with reality", hearing voices and hallucenating really freaked me out. But once I got once meds and it was under control I am able to lead a very productive life, having a good job and taking care of my family.
Good luck.
Colleen
