FDA Approves Zyprexa Injectable

After many attempts and many years, Lilly has gotten the FDA to approve Relprevv, its long-acting Zyprexa injectable, for he treatment of schizophrenia. God help any patient who ends up on it.

What the hell is wrong with the FDA? I wish Lilly would just go down. I live in Indianapolis and the sight of the main building makes me cringe. Zyprexa is a dangerous, dangerous drug.

Here is where I need some clarification from Philip or people on this site who have a dx of schizophrenia. I hate Zyprexa for all the reasons this site has listed, and because I was prescribed it off label and OD'd (good enough reason for ya?!).

But I thought it WAS actually indicated for schizophrenia. Is it actually not effective against the symptoms and helpful in some way? I realize that must be weighed against the metabolic dangers and zombie effect.

Anyway, please educate me. Thanks.

I'm bipolar and know a TON of people on zyprexa. So as I understand it-it's done on label for schizophrenia and for bipolar mania. I was on it until I had very bad side effects. The detox is a NIGHTMARE. This is not going to end well.

Philip I'm providing a link to Crazymeds for Zyprexa info

Chemical prisons instead of a bars and cement one. The Government should like this.
