Zyprexa (olanzapine): Nope. It can be sedating at high dose, though.

Not for reg. anxiety: Zyprexa is an antipsychotic drug and is most often used for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and agitation with these conditions. Literature suggests that it’s good for agitation and anxiety in patients who might *normally receive* Zyprexa - like those with the conditions mentioned above - but it is not normal practice to give Zyprexa for anxiety in someone without another psychiatric disorder.
