Comments: Study: Lilly Marketed Zyprexa Off-Label For Bipolar Disorder
Philip,
Your blog is, no doubt, aimed at informing the wise patient about the ills of pharmaceutical drugs. Can I ask if you, too, have a mental disorder? And, if you do, do you take prescription meds?
Thanks,
Cristina C. Fender

Eli Lilly has made $38 billion on Zyprexa and it was way oversold and caused diabetes and in some cases sudden death.
Lilly still criminal on Zyprexa
Please do a report on Lilly's (NOW up to $4.6 billion) Zyprexa setllement payout is being stonewalled. 8 Lilly employees who are supposed 'whistleblowers' are getting $ 10 million each the real victims like me are being ignored.
I am a living example of Zyprexa gone/done wrong was given it 1996-2000 off-label for PTSD got sudden high blood sugar A1C 14.7 in January 2000.The stuff was worthless for my condition PTSD and cost me thousands in co-pays gave me diabetes.

This bit of news alone, with the link to the in-publication article, is worth a lot more than you ask for in your quarterly fund-raisers.
Please don't let the negative comments get to you. You are doing good work for the good guys. Please know that and let yourself feel it.
I'm passing the article along to the folks in my Family Medicine program. Several of them have national connections. You are helping change what docs in the trenches do.
With gratitude and appreciation,
Gene
