For another, their settlements are chump change compared to what they are making off the drug. And finally, there has been no justice, no admission of guilt, no jail term for any Lilly execs. Yet many families will suffer forever from the loss of their innocent loved ones.

Zyprexa (Olanzapine) is known as an atypical antipsychotic It's mechanism of action is thought to be that it increases levels of serotonin and dopamine. It's chemical name is thienobenzodiazepine although is not a benzo like valium.One of it's well known major side effects is weight gain which is why it is sometimes favored for those with eating disorders (which would be an off label use) Doctors are at liberty prescribe drugs 'off label' like Zyprexa which is only FDA approved for schizophrenia and bipolar.They can give it or just about any drug for conditions other than what the drug was tested for.The doctors don't realize that Zyprexa is very addictive once a dependence has been built up and withdrawal is wicked.

So,be warned Zyprexa IS addictive,I think worst than nicotine and don't go off it unless you do so gradually under a doctor's care. I am a whole lot better now,except for the diabetes and wishing every one a happy Holiday season free of Zyprexa.

It took two years to diagnose. I was put immediately on Zyprexa as a front line. The symptoms stop and the illness was so serious I felt uncomfortable about stopping. I put 25 kg on in 3 weeks. I have been unable to do the damage and currently use Rispirdal Consta which leave little or no side effects. I would like to be compensated for my bad experience. Is there any talk of a class action law suit? Dear Sir/Madam
