You wrote,[...just because..similar to a benzodiazepine...].
The drug you cite is an off-shoot of a {type} of benzodiazepine.. So is Zyprexa.
The point here is that both contain the chemical structure of a benzodiazepine in the whole drug. So part of the drug contains a BZD. A BZD is in the drug.
Now with that understanding, the question that I have is if the off-shoot of the BZD could cause withdrawal to occure to a person that is addicted to a BZD. The drug that you cite could cause a person addicted to a BZD to go into withdrawal, so could not the same happen with Zyprexa? In your citation of the type of BZD, if that is given to someone that is addicted to a BZD, they go into withdrawal. Granted, it is used in the situation where a person is poisoned by a BZD, but if the person is addicted, then withdrawal synptoms start.
So no matter how you slice it, Zyprexa does have a BZD structure and if the drug that you cite could cause withdrawal to one addicted to a BZD, could not also Zyprexa do the same? I thihk that a person using Zyprexa that has once been addicted to a BZD and less than 2 years have run from the withdrawal of the drug, then IMHO the person could be in a pickle.
