I am sorry if I plastered too much info about possible diabetes/Zyprexa link. This seems to be an excellent medication, one I was on until massive weight gain and diabetes risk became a bit too much. (My father is diabetic, so I am afraid of risk, and my weight was direly affecting my health.) The medication also seemed to lose effect over time for me, so we weighed in risk/benefit, and it was stopped. But it does seem to continue to help many (especially Bipolar patients who don't respond to mood stabalizers well) and as always just think it is wise to be cautious and have knowledge no matter what the medication. If the medication provides an excellent response, I think it would be wrong to stop if no quality alternatives exist. John.
