Participant Flow

Recruitment started 06/01/2006. Eligibility: nondiabetic, overweight/obese psychiatrically stable adult outpatients in San Diego with schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder, on risperidone or olanzapine. Recruitment ended: 12/31/2009

Exclusions: unstable housing, psychiatric hospitalization in the past 90 days, ongoing substance abuse (except nicotine), history of diabetes mellitus, pregnancy, refractory schizophrenia, prior failure of or intolerance to ziprasidone, oral glucose tolerance test indicative of diabetes mellitus, or corrected QT interval ≥ 500 msec on EKG.

Switch
Switch from risperidone or olanzapine to ziprasidone. Ziprasidone will be flexibly dosed based on tolerability and psychiatric response (max dose 200 PO mg/d with food).
Control
Remain on risperidone or olanzapine.
