I also use zyprexa for sleep so I really can't think of anything I can replace it with. Ugh, but this weight gain has got to stop. So hope I can find another ap and another med for sleep. Wish me luck...
You might want to try Cogentin if Geodon and Latuda give you akathisia. Geodon gave me horrible akathisia, and finally the pdoc in the hospital prescribed me Cogentin and it all went away. Geodon has been my wonder drug and as an added bonus, it doesn't make you gain weight.

Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in. Best of luck to you!
