> Article you posted is from 2002 and seems to effect the elderly in nursing homes. Schizophenia seemed to the diagnosis also. And Clozapine is one that can have serious white blood cell count problems so one must discontinue the med. I didn't see Zyprexa mentioned? Why is namenda better? Phillipa
The article was written in 2004.
"after the pooling of peripheral anticholinergic items, a significant difference in anticholinergic effects was found between 15 mg/day of olanzapine and placebo (26% and 6.4%, respectively, p = .008)"
The Namenda works on memory.
