Eli Lilly Zyprexa can cause diabetes I took Zyprexa a powerful Lilly schizophrenic drug for 4 years it was prescribed to me off-label for post traumatic stress disorder was ineffective costly and gave me diabetes.

This is a powerful drug that can damage a young person physiologically for life. Please take with caution and learn as much as you can about side effects. Eli Lilly's #1 cash cow Zyprexa drug sale $40 billion dollars so far,has a ten times greater risk of causing type 2 diabetes over the non-user of Zyprexa. So,here we have a conflict of interest that this same company also is a big profiteer of diabetes treatment.

FIVE at FIVE

The Zyprexa antipsychotic drug,whose side effects can include weight gain and diabetes, was sold for "children in foster care, people who have trouble sleeping, elderly in nursing homes."

Five at Five was the Zyprexa sales rep slogan, meaning 5mg dispensed at 5pm would keep patients quiet.

Google * Eli Lilly Zyprexa * and read the links. I took Zyprexa it gave me diabetes and was as addictive as tobacco.How so? Because withdrawal is accompanied by severe insomnia for 6 weeks.

It comes down to which is the lesser of two evils. I take seroquel & so far have had no side effects from it, aside from drowsiness, which was taken care of by lowering the dose. My doctor did talk w/ me about the possible side effects, we weighed the benefits vs. possible side effects, & went w/ it. I have doctor's appt's every 3 months anyway ( I have diabetes, which I had beforeI started seroquel ) & so far everything has been normal. I just have to be careful about diet & exercise to counter potential problems. My antipsycotic has been a blessing.
