In reply to Ach(M) is this the dumb receptor, posted by linkadge on January 14, 2004, at 20:06:49
There are a few Ach muscarinic receptors. I imagine Zyprexa antagonises m1 at least, which should cause some cognitive slowing. Dopamine antagonism factors in as well. Zyprexa has a fairly long half-life too. The antipsychotics, even new ones, have to be used sparingly and only for a few conditions (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar mania...). Sounds trivial, but for other uses the side effects might be intolerable.
Best,
