Zyprexa is a great anti psychotic and its main side effect is weight gain. This has to be monitored so it doesn't get out of hand. The other common side effects are drowsiness (take it an hour or two before bed), dry mouth and difficulty swallowing. These usually improve over time but not always. It has other applications besides as an AP because it induces sleep. Here's a good honest link that gives pretty complete coverage on Zyprexa:
