 Eli Lilly Zyprexa Patients Thinking Sales Shrinking

Zyprexa was PUSHED by Lilly "viva zyprexa" on Many non-symptomatic patients at up to $20.00 a pill to further their own greed

Zyprexa is indicated for less than 1% of the population and it IS the most dangerous of all it's anti-psychotic cousins.

Point of fact here,it is Eli Lilly who boast in over 80 major news/press releases on how they have "settled" their zyprexa claims for $1.2 billion.
A) this payout is an admission of guilt? What would you call it if not that?

B) they in fact have NOT settled (past tense) and have paid out no where near $1.2 billion
Just up on the google Eli Lilly zyprexa news wire on how a Texas law firm is expected to PROFIT $90 million on litigation.
Why are lawyers on both sides getting fat off of mental patients?
Zyprexa was promoted indiscriminately {Viva Zyprexa} with much glamour as an 'anti-psychotic' panacea cure-all for patients with psychological trauma and other issues.There is only a narrow range of patients with schizophrenia accompanied by delusional hallucinations or for agitated manic patients who are FDA approved for good reason.
All zyprexa does for the rest of us patients is make you unproductive and sleep a lot.

The drug was 'tainted' in that warnings about dangerous side effects were withheld.It was Eli Lilly that manufactured,promoted and exaggerated the efficacy of it's defective zyprexa product.
Lilly has boasted of a whopping $1.2 billion zyprexa settlement injury fund way back,has given over $100 million of that to their lawyer buds and stonewalled true victims like myself.

I paid for the zyprexa out of my own pocket at $250 month co-pay X 4 years it didn't work as they promised and gave me diabetes now I want my money back.

The world could use more dialogue about its differences — a little understanding goes a long way. There are many online forums where people with different perspectives yell at each other and hurl abuse. There aren't so many where completely different points of view are expressed rationally and constructively. That's why The World Forum was created.

Sounds like a really bad anti-psychotic. I'm glad you wrote this article since we all can see it as a warning and remember it before we consider using it.
