> PI must correct myself...In my previous post I said that Geodon causes 50% of the people taking it to develop Diabetes. I misread the information, it actually stated that in clinical trials, Geodon and anti-psychotics similar to it cause Diabetes 50% more often than older anti-psychotics. Please forgive my error. The website I read the information on is http://www.yourlawyer.com/practice/overview.htm?topic=Geodon
It is a website that is looking for patients who have developed Diabetes for a lawsuit, so it may be biased.
