More Zyprexa Lawsuits

. By
Indianapolis, INA 2004 Dear Doctor letter sent from Eli Lilly to physicians in the U.S. noted the risks associated with Zyprexa. According to the letter, "Hyperglycemia, in some cases extreme and associated with ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar coma or death, has been reported in patients treated with atypical antipsychotics including Zyprexa."

Now, other countries are also reporting serious problems with Zyprexa. An article in the Daily Telegraph from Australia notes that one law firm is seeing patients, "from across Australia who claim symptoms such as weight gain, diabetes and pancreatitis." Much like in the U.S., people who took Zyprexa allege that Eli Lilly did not properly warn them about the drug's possible side effects.

Zyprexa victimEli Lilly faces a class action lawsuit in Australia over its handling of Zyprexa. The suit was filed on behalf of a 32-year-old who developed pancreatitis after taking Zyprexa. A lawyer in Australia said they hope to link the claims in Australia to those in the United States. Zyprexa has been available for use in Australia since 1997. So far, 40 deaths and 1231 adverse reactions have been reported regarding Zyprexa users in Australia.

Zyprexa is an atypical antipsychotic medication used to treat bipolar disorder and symptoms of schizophrenia. A November 28, 2001 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association published a warning that patients taking Zyprexa were 10 times more likely to develop diabetes than the general population.

Diabetes is not necessarily a fatal condition, but it is serious. It requires lifelong management and major lifestyle changes. If diabetes is not treated, or if the proper lifestyle changes are not made, diabetes can be fatal. Complications associated with diabetes include damage to the eyes, kidneys, and heart.

Patients who have a higher risk of diabetes and are taking Zyprexa should have their glucose levels regularly monitored.

If you have taken Zyprexa and noticed symptoms similar to those associated with diabetes, seek medical attention. Such symptoms include dizziness, constant thirst, excessive urination, weakness, headaches, numbness, or drowsiness.

My partner was diagnosed with schizophrenia and was given zyprexa after a few weeks she told me she was hearing voices and then she told me she was hallucinating so we went back to the mental health clinic and they admitted her to the mental health hospital were they continued to give her higher doses of zyprexa and was diagnosed with psychosis, after a month they discharged her and they didn't tell me, she just turned up at my door step with a bag full of medication when I got home from work.
a couple months later she told me she hasn't stopped hallucinating since it started and a week later she jumped from my balcony which is five stories high because of the hallucinations and voices, She fortunately survived and has been off zyprexa and hasn't hallucinated since but she is now wheelchair bound and has no feeling from her chest down. she was still hallucinating and hearing voices for a week after the incident but since they change her medication she has had no signs of psychosis or schizophrenia it has been three years now.
