They called it the "VIVA ZYPREXA" campaign to off label market Eli Lilly Zyprexa as a fix for unapproved usage.
Zyprexa (Olanzapine) is known as an atypical antipsychotic It's mechanism of action is thought to be that it increases levels of serotonin and dopamine. It's chemical name is thienobenzodiazepine although is not a benzo like valium.One of it's well known major side effects is weight gain which is why it is sometimes favored for those with eating disorders (which would be an off label use)
Doctors are at liberty prescribe drugs 'off label' like Zyprexa which is only FDA approved for schizophrenia and bipolar.They can give it or just about any drug for conditions other than what the drug was tested for.The doctors don't realize that Zyprexa is very addictive once a dependence has been built up and withdrawal is wicked.
I took it 1996-2000 for PTSD and it was worthless for my symptoms and gave me diabetes with an A1C of 13.9 normal blood sugar is 4
I had to get off it and it took me two months of horrible insomnia,I did not sleep for weeks.
So,be warned Zyprexa IS addictive,I think worst than nicotine and don't go off it unless you do so gradually under a doctor's care.
I am a whole lot better now,except for the diabetes and wishing every one a cheerful holiday season coming up.
 Eli Lilly makes billions on diabetes treatment and also gets $4.2 billion a year in sales of their biggest cash cow Zyprexa which has been scandalized as *causing* diabetes as a major side effect.
The issue is that Zyprexa is indicated for less than 1% of the population and it IS the most dangerous of all it's anti-psychotic cousins.
Zyprexa was PUSHED by Lilly "viva zyprexa" on a ton of non-symptomatic patients at up to $10.00 a pill to further their own greed
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.
