>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?
No, flumazenil is a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist. Zyprexa is not.
>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?
No, flumazenil is a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist. Zyprexa is not.
>I think 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.
Zyprexa has its own withdrawal symptoms which result from its own pharmacological properties. In spite of structural similarities, Zyprexa is not clinically a 'benzodiazepine' because it does not have significant activity at benzodiazepine receptors.
