Side Effects
weight gain/drowsiness. craving sweets. I looked pregnant it all went on my stomache.

Additional Thoughts
I did manage to give it up. It was hard for me even though I am a health freak + never had an addiction. It took 4 months to go from 2.5 to 0. Then I stopped taking the little slither and had bad withdrawal with a crisis day at day 14. Then I got better from there and by 4 weeks felt great started sleeping fine, back to myself. I nearly went back on (at 14 days) but my excellent psychiatrist said 'No the ilness is over you dont need it' She prescribed something for sleep which I ended up not taking. I did recover, I am happy about that.

Side Effects
My son died from this drug; died of profound hyperglycemia. No warning from the doctor or a warning guide.

Additional Thoughts
This is a lethal drug. In the CATIE Study, it was the worst. As far back as 2001 a Medwatch study found 200 plus cases of diabetes and 23 deaths. In 2002 UK and Japan required Lilly to place a warning. The FDA did nothing. Lilly execs need prison time for what I view as murder.

Cost-Benefit: 4 out of 5
Sex: F
Age: 92
Time Taken: 48 days

Reason: Doctor prescribed to Mother-age 92 Date: 30 June 2007
Side Effects
Mother was a 92 year old with diabetes and dementia. Her "doctor" (in a Nursing Home) prescribed this medication without the knowledge of any family members - in fact, this info was kept very secret. She became agitated, had behaviour problems, was restless, angered easily, became very anxious and confused. She had a stroke after 48 days of use. This drug is the "drug of choice" to use for euthanizing the elderly.

Additional Thoughts
All family members need to check if ZYPREXA is being used on their elderly relatives. The drug is NOT APPROVED for eldrly patients with dementia; it is contraindicated for diabetes. If the doctor is using it on an elderly relative without consent, get a lawyer. He is using it to slowly euthanize.
