Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Change in Insulin Sensitivity Index From Baseline to Week 26 ((1/mU/L) x 1/Min)
As measured by frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance testing (units: 1/mU/L) x 1/Min)
Measured at Baseline and Week 26
Change in Visceral Fat Mass From Baseline to Week 26
CT measured change in visceral fat mass from baseline to week 26 (mm\^3)
Baseline and Week 26
Study Arms (2)
Control
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants on risperidone or olanzapine who will remain on risperidone or olanzapine and do not switch to ziprasidone
Switch
EXPERIMENTALParticipants who enter on risperidone or olanzapine and switch to ziprasidone
Interventions
Participants who are switched to ziprasidone will take a max daily dose of 200 mg, flexibly dosed based on symptoms and adverse effects.
Participants will remain taking the same medications of risperidone or olanzapine as they were before study entry.
