Kerry,
You are still in the start up period with the zyprexa & startup side effects can last 3 wks or so. My guess is that this is agitation, which is common with zyprexa. It is not really a EPS symptom & does not respond to EPS meds. zyp can also cause anxiety & tremors.
It may be your med dose needs to be dropped back a bit & then increased slowly ? Choices like this for antiP meds are harder than with the SSRIs for depression.
lorazepam (Ativan) is used at times for the agitation.
I think you should discuss this with your coordinator.
