Anyhow, after about 3 days starting Risperidone I think the joker could have upped me from 1mg to 2mg...I got pronounced akathisia. Think he put me back to 1mg - went away, but I was only on it extremely short time - 2 weeks maybe.

Wow, i thought it took years or at least months of antipsychotic use to develop any EPS. That's terrible. i'm sorry to be discouraging, and i could of course be wrong, but if just a few days of risperidone caused that i wouldn't be at all surprised if the Zyprexa could do the same thing. Sorry. But hopefully i'm wrong. Good luck.
