>hey i read a post you put that zyprexa can cause diabeties, i think you said that it can cause insulin resistance, could this happen with medications?
Hi RJ,
Are you asking whether taking Zyprexa could make you resistant to other medications?
If so, that's not at all likely. Resistance to insulin is a process which happens in Type 2 diabetes - which is a risk with various antipsychotics, especially Zyprexa. Zyprexa doesn't cause resistance to other medications however, but some degree of tolerance can occur to its sedating effect over time.
You will be absorbing your medications the same as you always did. Tolerance to the sedating effect occurs due to adaptations within the brain, not due to changes in absorption.
Does this answer your question?
