So the weight gain only makes you die young of heart disease?... Zyprexa was beset by scandal and nasty side effects from the beginning of it's testing phase, and should never have been approved. The FDA rejected it several times. As I recall, a doctor went to jail over it. Read "Mad In America" by Robert Whitaker, it'll scare the bejesus out of you. I wrote the author, and he replied that what went on with Zyprexa scared him- and he doesn't face having it forced on him.
Diabetes is a reletivly minor side effect of Zyprexa, the weight gain so socially cripples people that they're too embarrassed to go out in public. This is treatment?miss liz
