| 1 | Alledged bi-polar depression | I have suffered from major depressive disorder for thirty years, so this revised diagnosis was wrong. Within days, Zyprexa caused my glucose level to skyrocket. I am a diabetic. My feet, ankles and legs have swollen and now I have to take Lasix. I was on this medication for only three weeks and I gained over 30 pounds. I have not overcome the adverse side effects some 6 weeks later. | Zyprexa is near lethal and should be taken off the market before it causes a fatality. | F | 59 | | 6/24/2008 | 1 | A friend was taking it | I don't know the specific details of my friend's taking this drug such as frequency of taking it, length of time taking the drug etc..All I know is that we were in the same psychiatric hospital together. And one day he said to me: "You know, while taking this drug for the first time in my life I feel like killing somebody". And some months later guess what? He's on a murder charge! This drug is lethal and it's influence upon consumption is evidently deadly. I was given it too with horrific, indescribable side effects WHICH the medical staff ignored saying "these drugs don't have side effects"..Can you believe that? | Most if not all people I've talked to who took this drug had pretty horrifying side-effects. Perhaps if we weren't talking about a multi-billion dollar industry (pharmaceutical); perhaps if no one had any financial vested interest in the making of this drug we as a society would be free of it and all other psychiatric drugs! | M | 33 | ? 1X day | 11/24/2015 | 1 | Schizophrenia | Zyprexa (Generic: olanzapine) used by millions of Americans to Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder has been linked to linked to, high blood sugar and Diabetes, Hyperglycemia, Ketoacidosis, Pancreatitis, Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), Tardive Dyskinesia (TD), Diabetic Comas and death. | M | 29 | | 6/30/2006 | 1 | psychosis | Extreem extreem uncontrolable fatigue-sleeping at least 14 hours per day, extreem weight gain-20 kilo's (40lbs) in 2 months-it was all retained fluids.Complete loss of concentration/ decrease mental skills. | Antipschotic drugs are an extremely dangerous medium. They can cause severe brain damage. Better drugs should be manufactured. I am still recouperating from rispardol and have a permanent decrease in mental capacities and a dangerous hormonal imbalance. In my opinion, psychiatrists are among the biggest criminals;being liscenced to prescribe such toxins to people. I think everybody afflicted with problems of this nature has to do their own research and figure out what really works for them;hopefully some new drugs are on the way. Keep up with farmaceutical studies... | F | 32 | 15mg 1X day | 7/3/2010 | 1 | Agitated depression/possible bipola | Severe drowsiness and hangover effect. Double vision, muscle stiffness | At 1/2 of a normal SENIOR'S starting dose (1.25mg) I was sleeping over 14 hours a night and was so hung over during the day I couldn't go about my normal routines-I couldn't even get myself dressed to go out to the store. I stopped it after a few weeks; I couldn't handle the drowsiness | F | 31 | | 5/13/2006 |
