I would never go against an informed consumers decision but just be careful as many people on Zyprexa did develop insulin dependent diabetes. And it has a strong mood stabilization effect so it was used much until it was found that the drug company Eli Lilly gave fraudelent results to psychiatrists about the high rate of diabetes that it could create. Now many psychiatrists are not using it as much. However, it has been shown to highly effective. Just be careful with your diet and blood sugar.
