Akineton is another alternative to Artane and might be slightly stronger; they're similar.
Not to be pessimistic but I developed a hand tremor from Zyprexa and it didn't completely resolve; its hard to say though because I had a bad tremor at any dose of Zyprexa (unfortunately because in some ways it was more effective for my disorder) and I switched to Seroquel and its entirely possible the Seroquel causes (milder) pseudoparkinsonism, and discontinuation of all eventually would restore. At any rate not to naysay completely I think being on Zyprexa only for a short while would eventually cessate the pseudoparkinsonism if you stopped it, I could be very sensitive to medication. Additionally, there's the chance that either if you stop it, or if you continue the medication, this particular type of EPS would subsume and dissappear over time with treatment. I just wanted to post this for my experience, I hope it doesn't discourage you. Discuss it all with your doctor.
Cheers
