Did your medication give you diabetes or cholesterol?

I am on Zyprexa 15mg per day and I am afraid of possible side effects for my health.
I was wondering if many of you had diabetes or cholesterol or other side effects because of your medication

Thanks in advance for your answer!

It’s my opinion that Zyprexa gave me diabetes, though my pdoc says not. I don’t know about cholesterol. I’m off Zyprexa and take Abilify now.

I was on seroquel for thirteen years and it definitely did. It gave me a metabolic disorder.

Abilify raised my blood sugar and now I have to take Metformin. If I stop abilify I’m not certain that problem would go away so if that’s the case I’ve got diabetes.
