That's what my Pdoc was saying. It's like a better version of Abilify (which I can't take). And there doesn't seem to be as much of an issue with weight gain and blood sugar issues- both which zyprexa have done to me big time. Only time and blood tests will tell but I'm optimistic. It's only been 5 days but I'm not feeling any side effects at all. So many other atypicals gave me freakish side effects that I just couldn't deal. I don't have many more drugs to take as my dr doesn't want me on typical and we've gone through most of the atypicals.
