Clozapine, Olanzapine, Quetiapine and Sertindole does not cause EPS in usual doses. Clozapine and Sertindole are the safest in respect to EPS. However, Clozapine is associated with Agranulocytosis, something you don't want to get (deadly!). So, I would recommend on Zyprexa (olanzapine) if you are not concerned with weight gain and somnolence, Quetiapine for if you do, and if you really don't want any weight gain go for Geodon (Ziprasidone), although it is associated with some EPS.

> Does zyprexa make dystonia worse? I am going to be taking a neuroleptic soon. Should I go with clozapine or zyprexa? Which one is least likely to affect my dystonia?
