It blocks the serotonin (5HT2A) receptor more potently than the dopamine (D2) receptor. In animal studies, Zyprexa is more potent at blocking serotonin and dopamine than Clozaril. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT) is a monoamine neurotransmitter synthesized in serotonergic neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) and enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal tract of animals including humans. Serotonin is also found in many mushrooms and plants, including fruits and vegetables. Hope this info helps you.

Zyprexa falls into the class of atypical antipsycotics. Once thought to be more effective than the traditional anti-psychotics with less side effects.

Zyprexa promotes weight gain and diabetes, whether or not it promotes diabetes more than the older drugs I do not know. All antipsycotics tend to cut down on the mind's ability to think in abstract terms, so learning math or science or any other challange that requires abstract thought is impaired, the lower the dose, the less the problem. fda informaton link:
