Olanzapine (Zyprexa) is one of the atypical antipsychotic medications. Although olanzapine is marketed as an anti-Parkinson's medication, the anti-psychiatry website Prozac Spotlight argues that a 1999 study demonstrated that the drug was ineffective.
Side Effects
Common side effects include muscle-rigidity, muscle-stiffness, muscle-twitches, restlesness, sedation, and weight-gain. Olanzapine is reported to cause tardive dyskinesia and neurological malignant syndrome.
Olanzapine is manufactured by Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY).
