Neurol 47:1085-1087, Wolters,W.Ch.,et al, 1992
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We studied the effect of olanzapine(1 to 15 mg/d)in 15 nondemented parkinsonian patients with drug-induced psychosis.Psychotic symptoms decreased significantly during treatment and there was no worsening of extrapyramidal symptoms.These results suggest that olanzapine is a well- tolerated and effective treatment for drug-induced psychosis in nondemented patients with Parkinson's disease.
