Smoking cessation, with or without nicotine substitutes, may alter response to concomitant medication in ex-smokers. Smoking may affect alcohol, benzodiazepines, beta-adrenergic blockers, caffeine, clozapine, fluvoxamine, olanzapine, tacrine, theophylline, clorazepate, lidocaine (oral), estradiol, flecanide, imipramine, heparin, insulin, mexiletine, opioids, propranolol, catecholamines, and cortisol. 

Cyt 2D6 metabolizes haloperidol, risperidone, thioridazine, sertindole, olanzapine and clozapine common substrates - fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, venlafaxine, amitriptyline, clomipramine, desipramine, imipramine, nortriptyline, propranolol, metoprolol, timolol, codeine, encainide, flecanide. Common inhibitors - paroxetine, sertraline, fluoxetine. 

A pharmacodynamic interaction occurred between olanzapine and imipramine 191). 

Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of olanzapine have been extensively reviewed (266). Olanzapine does not inhibit CYP isozymes, and no clinically significant metabolic interactions were found of olanzapine with aminophylline, biperiden, diazepam, ethanol, fluoxetine, imipramine, lithium, or R/S-warfarin.

Antidepressants Fluvoxamlne, a potent inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 enzymes CYP1A2 and CYP2C19 and a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4, has been reported to cause a 5-10-fold elevation of plasma clozapine concentration. Fluoxetine and paroxetine may also increase plasma clozapine concentrations, while citalopram and sertraline have been reported to cause minimal or no elevation of plasma levels of clozapine. To date, in vivo studies with a combined olanzapine-imipramine regimen have not revealed any pharmacokinetic interactions. 

No pharmacokinetic interaction occurs between imipramine or mirtazapine and olanzapine, but the additive effects of clomipramine and olanzapine was thought to have caused a seizure in one patient. 

A randomised, crossover study in 9 healthy men given single doses of olanzapine 5 mg and imipramine 75 mg found no clinically relevant pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic interactions between the two drugs. This would seem to confirm in vitro studies using human liver mi-crosomes, which demonstrated that olanzapine causes minimal inhibition of the cytochrome P450 isoenzyme CYP2D6, an enzyme involved in the metabolism of the tricyclic antidepressants. However, one case report describes seizures, thought to be caused by the additive effects of olanzapine...

Casamenti et al. [1399] developed a method for screening 11 central nervous system drugs (phenobarbital, olanzapine, clozapine, risperidone, loxapine, haloperidol, imipramine, amitriptyline, fluoxetine, chlorpromazine, paroxetine) on a Cjg column (A = 230 nm) using a 20/11.7 water (0.4g tetramethylammonium perchlorate with 0.2 mL of 7% (m/m) HCIO4 to pH 2.8 with ammonia)/acetonitrile mobile phase. Keep in mind that perchlorates, when concentrated with some metals, are hazardous. Elution was complete in 35 min with good resolution for most compounds. Plots of the effects of mobile phase modifier level and percent acetonitrile on overall retention are presented. Linear ranges of 25-5000 ng/mL with detection limits of 10-250 ng/mL (analyte dependent) are reported.
