Zyprexa is a mood stabilizer originally prescribed to treat bipolar mania and schizophrenia. Since 1996, it has been over-prescribed and under-monitored. Worse yet, Zyprexa side effects can cause chronic diabetes and deadly diabetic-induced heart attacks and comas.
Zyprexa coma side effects, and others like heart attacks
and diabetes, are significant. In February 2004
the American Diabetes Association published
a Consensus Statement in its Diabetes Care journal. In that
statement, the American Diabetes Association, the American
Psychiatric Association, the American Association of Clinical
Endocrinologists and the North American Association for
the Study of Obesity, stated that data consistently shows
an increased risk for diabetes in patients who are treated
with Zyprexa (generic – olanzapine). Zyprexa is also associated
with an increase risk of coma. The findings were based
on input from drug companies, consultations with numerous
experts, and reviewing medical literature.
What is Zyprexa?
-
Zyprexa
is an atypical antipsychotic medication that changes
the chemical actions in your brain.
-
Zyprexa
is used to treat psychotic symptoms including hallucinations,
delusions, and confusion.
-
Zyprexa
may also be used for purposes other than those listed
in the medication guide.
Unfortunately,
not only are schizophrenia patients being given Zyprexa;
children and adolescents displaying only minor conditions
are also being prescribed Zyprexa. According to many Zyprexa
critics, the risks for suffering potentially deadly and
serious conditions are far greater than the benefits that
Zyprexa can provide for minor conditions.
Antipsychotic
drugs like Zyprexa have not been adequately tested for safety
in children so before prescribing, understanding the full
extent of Zyprexa side effects is essential.
