I don't get the minutie of that post- But I do know that Zyprexa is an absolutely evil drug with dagerous side effects- like massive weight gain and bringing on type II diabetes. There's been a number of lawsuits, and there's a lot of dirt in Zyprexas history. It should never have been approved. I got put on it (tricked onto it) and barely missed getting to the diabetic point. I did require a lot of surgical reconstruction in both knees and feet from the sudden massive weight gain that blew a bunch of joints- and I'm really athletic.
Your guy would be better off on Haldol- it's a safer drug. Go buy a copy of "Mad In America" by Robert Whitaker. Your husband is on Zyprexa because it's good for Eli Lilly's stockholders, not because it's good for him.Incidently- Lilly makes the overwhelming majority of insulin in the world. They win both ways.
