when the goal is to let the stimulant do it's dopaminergic job the best. (NA, not so important for me)

There's some knowledgeable people here (or were at least), so I'd appreciate anyone who shares his/her informed opinion.

If you know someone with the necessary psychopharmaceutical knowledge, please also ask him/her and share his/her wisdom right here.

I've heard more than my share of conflicting opinions, so why not add some more and maybe even end up with a clear winner ;)

I need to make this decision by Monday morning so I'd like to be as informed as possible ;)

Hmm... I wonder what one would be better 5mg zyprexa or 5mg abilify.

Depends on what you want, more sedation, appetite stimulation but less akathisia (Zyprexa), or less sedation/stimulation, less appetite stimulation/diminished appetite and more akathisia (Abilify).

Speaking only about common side effects here of course. Therapeutically, I wouldn't know.
