yeah, i know it is class actioned, because of the risk of developing diabetes while on it. my shrink says that's because of the weight gain associated with it. i don't want to take this drug anyway, so hopefully these side effects at such a low dose will convince the doctor about it.

My shrink also told me that Zyprexa causes diabetes because of the weight gain, but I went to the FDA web page online and found out the truth. If you are taking zyprexa and get diabetes 2.. then diabetes 2 might go away when you stop the zyprexa. This has nothing to do with weight gain. I immediatly stopped taking Zyprexa as I am already at a risk... overweight, weight around my stomach, diabetes 2 runs on my Mom's side. I miss zyprexa terribly! It was such a calming medicine. I no longer have the hallucinations (which I only had 1 or 2 of anyway) that I had that got my shrink to put me on zyprexa. It has really made my life much more unbearable without it, but diabetes is a bad disease.. and I don't want to take a chance of having it.
