'''Olanzapine''', first branded as '''Zyprexa''', is a widely-used [[psychoactive class::antipsychotic]] substance of the [[chemical class::thienobenzodiazepine]] chemical class. It produces sedating and neuroleptic effects when administered. Olanzapine is known to cause weight gain and help induce Diabetes mellitus type 2 more frequently than other antipsychotics. On the other hand, it has less of a chance of producing tardive dyskinesia or an extrapyramidal reaction and also seems to treat schizophrenia very effectively.<ref>Leucht, S., Cipriani, A., Spineli, L., Mavridis, D., Örey, D., Richter, F., ... & Kissling, W.
