IN TWO YEARS MY WEIGHT GAIN WAS 100 POUNDS, AND HAVE DEVELOPED A CONDITION CALLED TARDIVE DYSKINESIS, WHICH IS IRREVERSIBLE. MY NURSE HAS ALSO COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT I HAVE A BLOOD SUGAR DISORDER CALLED HYPOGLYCEMIA, WHERE MY BLOOD SUGAR GETS SO LOW THAT I FAINT, PASS OUT AND IT COULD RESULT IN COMA, HEART ATTACK, OR EVEN DEATH. AM CURRENTLY SEEKING REPIRATIONS FOR THE PAIN AND PERMANENT DAMAGE DONE BY THE DRUG. AND IT IS MESSED UP IF THEY KNEW BOUT THE SIDE EFFECTS BUT DID NOT WARN ANYBODY, I KNOW I WAS NOT WARNED.

I also had uncontrolable jurking and moving of my legs and arms. I was also hullucinating. Its now been about 4 weeks and still cant control my legs and arms as well as my face going numb.

So how does Zyprexa get to be the 7th largest drug sale in the world? Eli Lilly is in deep trouble for using their drug reps to 'encourage' doctors to write zyprexa for non-FDA approved 'off label' uses. The drug causes increased diabetes risk,and medicare picks up all the expensive fallout.There are now 7 states (and counting) going after Lilly for fraud and restitution. -- Daniel Haszard My issue is Zyprexa which is only FDA approved for schizophrenia (.5-1% of pop) and some bipolar (2% pop) and then an even smaller percentage of theses two groups.
