Brief Answer:
Yes, with Zyprexa

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Artane has an adverse interaction with Zyprexa only. The anticholinergic action of each is increased by the other. It has no recognized adverse interactions with the other medicines.
Do get back to me if you have more questions.
Take care
