You did say Olanzapine was supposed to have less motor side effects. In your case (and others it would seem) these are unacceptable. Perhaps some people would think the risk worthwhile.<BR/><BR/>And things with effects usually have side effects. That's why homeopathic medicines are so harmless. <BR/><BR/>As for a Big Pharma conspiracy, re selling diabetic drugs, I doubt it. They lose out badly with drug scares and scandals. They'd much rather rake in the $$$ with nice effective user-friendly drugs. With an obesity-linked diabetic epidemic underway there's even less motivation to "make their own.".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18523369.post-1155399618429147982006-08-13T00:20:00.000+08:002006-08-13T00:20:00.000+08:00Good point,check the obits it's still 3 score and ...Good point,check the obits it's still 3 score and ten for everybody.<BR/><BR/> I took zyprexa which was ineffective for my condition and gave me diabetes. <BR/> <BR/>Zyprexa, which is used for the treatment of psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, accounted for 32% of Eli Lilly's $14.6 billion revenue last year.<BR/> <BR/>Zyprexa is the product name for Olanzapine,it is Lilly's top selling drug.It was approved by the FDA in 1996 ,an 'atypical' antipsychotic a newer class of drugs without the motor side effects of the older Thorazine.Zyprexa has been linked to causing diabetes and pancreatitis.<BR/> <BR/>Did you know that Lilly made nearly $3 billion last year on diabetic meds, Actos,Humulin and Byetta?<BR/> <BR/>Yes! They sell a drug that can cause diabetes and then turn a profit on the drugs that treat the condition that they may have caused in the first place!<BR/> <BR/>I was prescribed Zyprexa from 1996 until 2000.<BR/>In early 2000 i was shocked to have an A1C test result of 13.9 (normal is 4-6) I have no history of diabetes in my family.<BR/>----<BR/>Daniel Haszard http://www.zyprexa-victims.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
