Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

The olanzapine can affect the levels of the benztropine but this is the only interaction that is known.
Other that this there are no issues with the combination of medication.

Unfortunately all medications have potential side effects but if the effects that he is experiencing are intolerable then you can speak to his doctor.
If you are not happy with the response then you may need to consider consulting another doctor.

I hope this helps
