I think it is the Zyprexa. That family of drugs all cause akathisia
as a side effect. I'd mention it to your doctor, before it becomes severe. The drugs like Zyprexa can also cause other movement disorders like Tardive Dyskinesia..which may be permanent.

A dose reduction, or another drug may need to be tried.
