A member asked:
Does zyprexa have any benzodiazepine action? i see that it is considered a thienobenzodiazepine.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zyprexa: Zyprexa belongs to a class of medications called atypical antipsychotics and is not considered a benzodiazepine. In my opinion it should only be prescribed by a psychiatrist skilled in its use. If it is used with a benzodiazepine excessive drowsiness is likely. Your pharmacist can give you more information about this medication.
