Oddly enough I was prescribed Zyprexa for ADHD when I was about 17, but soon quit taking it because of the "zombie-like" side effects. The effects are quite noticeable mentally and physically. I could see how it might cure those who have extreme cases of attention deficit hyperactive, but only because it depletes them of energy and willpower. I believe Olanzapine effects neurotransmitters in the central nervous system, primarily the dopamine receptor sites. Wikipedia has more info. Basically it is supposed to calm extremely agitated youth with ADHD and borderline Bipolar. Overall, ADHD is over-diagnosed throughout the US, so I would be careful obtaining treatment for it with atypical antipsychotic medications.

Zyprexa is a medication used for people with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Some doctors may prescribe it for severe hyperactivity in children or adults with ADHD.

Zyprexa often causes sedation and drowsiness, thus lessening the hyperactivity. It affects the serotonin, histamine, and dopamine receptors in the brain, although studies are still being done to ensure these effects on these chemical receptors.

Zyprexa Olanzapine is an atypical antipsychotic medication. be careful

God only Knows.
