Does zyprexa (olanzapine) have anticholinergenic effects? if it does would it have some properities similar to cogentin built into it?

Yes it does: Yes, zyprexa (olanzapine) does have strong anticholinergic effects as well as many others. In a way this would be like building cogentin-like effects into the medication, but may still not overcome certain side effects (like akathisia) of zyprexa (olanzapine).
