Which one should I switch too? I’m afraid of getting diabetes from zyprexa but I heard seroquel helps with insomnia which one is good?

#2

I found seroquel made me feel like a zombie. Sleeping all the time. Latuda is good overal but you have to eat when you take it which can be annoying. Never tried zyperexa.

Everyone responds differently but generally Latuda is the lightest of the 3 and is weight neutral. I would try it first.

Latuda was weak for me, I was semi-psychotic on even 120mg. I had Seroquel as prn for sleep at night, it worked. Zyprexa I was on for a year from 2016-2017. I was eating too much, more than now, and gained lots of weight. I want to retry it now though.

Zyprexa (Olanzapine) helps decrease my paranoia significantly

I was on 80mg of Latuda. It took care of postivie symptoms, but it gave me pretty bad akathasia an hour after I took it. I had problems sleeping through the night too. I’d wake up at 3 or 4 am once a week when I was taking it. It worked well if I got quality sleep though.

I have the same problem, I go to sleep earlier so I fall asleep before the akathisia comes…

Same, I’d take mine at night with food an hour before I went to bed. Waking up at 3 am once or twice a week killed it for me. I switched to perphenazine earlier this year and its ok. Kind of like risperidone without the restlessness even though its an older ap.
