That’s a very good question. I wonder if all they have to do is warn people better

I guess they are still making a great profit off of it. But I think if all the people that had reason to lawsuit them actually did it, they would go bankrupt.

That was the first antipsychotic I was put on while staying inpatient at the hospital.
It is seriously extremely irresponsible to prescribe Zyprexa as a first line of defense— there’s waaaaay better meds out there with less side effects.
Should be reserved as a last resort, IMO.
It really set me back so much in my life.

They are still selling tobacco products, which are, frankly, many times more dangerous. Those should be banned outright.

There are literally hundreds of stories about people who have or had a hard time getting off this drug for whatever reason. And that’s just on this one webpage.
I have been on it 15 years…that’s really long. I guess my prospects are not good.

That’s a good point. Maybe they should get warning labels on AP’s too…oh wait…there’s not enough room to write it on the package

It’s the name. No one thinks someone called Lilly is going to hurt them. Everybody trusts a Lilly.
