www.adverse-drug-reaction.net can help avoid these lawsuits. People should be aware of the adverse reactions associated with the drugs they take.

Experts say Zyprexa qualifies for a MedGuide warning:

(1) The labeling would definitely help prevent serious adverse events;
(2) Few patients would be willing to take the drug and risk developing diabetes given that numerous studies have shown Zyprexa to be no more effective than the older class of antipsychotics that do not cause diabetes; and
(3) Most patients on Zyprexa would learn that the drug is not FDA approved to treat the condition they have.

Zyprexa and the other AAP's could probably knock out crop circles when the end of the world occurs---- if Eli Lilly put the drug in liquid form and sold it in tanker loads to the world's municipalities. Every town and city could spray it like mosquito mist or something in case the supernatural appeared obtrusively with the doomsday knell. WIth that plan and Eli lIlly could have come out with hundreds of billions of dollars with clean spiritual records of sorts and not injured anybody.. Instead they have a whole history of hundreds of thousands of people suffering form metabolic injury---what a gain for these companies, in already a decimated dying out drug ridden society. I don't know anyone who would trust the American Psychiatric Association, where patient health is routinely endangered and harmed. Isn't it about time to close down the APA.

NOBODY should INGEST ZYPREXA. It will,in long term, destroy your metabolism and your son will eventually become very ILL. My advice to you,"not a solution" is to take him off the drug as soon as possible. Take him to the Hospital and ask for help! Tell them what you want to do and ask for their assistance. He might be there for a few days but they won't let him die. And if you choose not to take action he will eventually die from Zyprexa. Side Effects are: Mass wieght gain,low blood sugar attacks,swelling of the ankles and other areas of the body,face ect....
