A big hurdle with the Zyprexa issue is Lilly's credibility over their continuous PR on how they are going to pay out $1.2 billion . As long as they keep up this rhetoric and don't actually pay the issue won't go away.

They need to think about 'putting their money where their mouth is'.

Eli Lilly Zyprexa Hush Money

Zyprexa compensation fund now up to $1.2 billion,show us da money!

Consider this:
Latest media news PR "puff piece" sez that the Zyprexa compensation fund is up to $1.2 billion.Lilly's lawyers claim to have 'settled' the first wave (the so called 8,000) for $700 million.
Yesterday there are over 200 news wire Lilly press releases on how they are the good ole boys who will settle 18,000 MORE cases for $500 million ($27,000 per client)

DO THE MATH HERE- original 8,000 ~$700 million $87,000 per client half to lawyers?
 18,000 for only $500 million equals $27,000 apiece ?

This sounds like bogus hush money rhetoric to appease Lilly critics? Their attached statement sez that these newer 18,000 cases are post 2003 black box warning and so have less merit/money.

Hello! I took zyprexa right out of the gate in 1996 I am possibly the #1 most viable and visible claimant and not only have I not been paid yet, I don't hear from them at all, something fishy here people.

Show us da money please!

Many of the longtime zyprexa users like myself who developed diabetes were given it 'off label' because it was being pushed on my doctor by Lilly drug reps.

The now notorious Zyprexa diabetes connection is elaborated at thousands of pages on line.
My own local clinic and clinics everywhere have stopped dispensing Zyprexa except as a PRN for acute cases.

Lilly made a mistake motivated by a desire for profits (greed) now it's time to face the music.Lilly occasionally comes out with theses periodic media PR's on compensation ($27,000 per person?) then nothing further happens and you wonder why victims get indignant.

Eli Lilly's $4.2 billion a year zyprexa gravy train will stall soon enough.

I am Daniel Haszard 4 year zyprexa user who got diabetes from it.
