Zyprexa Class Action Lawsuit in Canada Can Pursue Company’s Sales

• YagoMarch 7, 2023 at 9:00 am

  After taking Zyprexa for several years ( 1995-2008 ) I started to gain weight, also developed diabetes and pancreatitis. After hearing about the lawsuit recently against Eli Lilly.. I need to know if I will be compensated so many years later..

• TimNovember 5, 2021 at 6:16 pm

  I have Diabetes from a year or more from Zyprexa. I would like to join the class action suit against the company that made it? My Diabetes is a serious injury in my opinion!

  I am tearing up right now and feel so lost. I never knew to go after this claim, and wish I had knowen about what to do at the time I had gotten diabetes from the medication back in 2009. it only took a month and a half on this medication to ruin my life with diabtes. I feerl shattered. I'm so happy ppl have been compensated and my heart goes out to those effected

  I was on Zyprexa for 13 years and it completely destroyed my life. I was wondering if there's a class action lawsuit for me to join here in the U.S. regarding this evil poison? I was on the drug from 1999-2012.

Unfortunatly taking me off the drug was to little to late as it may have caused permanent damage. My DR has asked me to think about taking medication givin to Parkinson Patients.

  The FDA let the country down by allowing Zyprexa and similar meds to be on the market. First of all there needs to be an antidote (Antiside efffect medication) before they can be put on the market.

First of all there needs to be an antidote (Antiside efffect medication) before they can be put on the market. You are better off eating Fast Food than taking Zyprexa it does the same thing it causes weight gain and diabetes. you might think of going to the gym 5 times a week. it's not enough to lose weight. I reckon you would need to brisk walk 20 hours a week and 3 weight training sessions to keep your weight stable. It sounds a lot but it's achievable by walking every day to the train station or catch busses, instead of using a car. Why don't Govt worldwide relise these meds are as bad as Cigarettes, Weed, Alcohol and prostitution. I am one of the unlucky ones, I was not born with Mental illness and my current IQ is 120 well above any Schizophenic/Asperge type character. My condition was caused because my girlfriend AleishaMSP did not want me. As well as having a bad ste father on my mothers side and my Dad and his second wife who treated me bad. Also I was prescribed Tegretol at 10 years old by Dr John Bloggs for Seizures, but I could control the seizures without tablets by having a 5 min aroara warning where I could lie on the ground for 5 mins to get rid of it. The Tegretol cause warts on my hands and feet, as well as hallucinations after been on it for a few years. Another issue was having surgery to cut out my warts, the Surgeon made me have a fit by gasing me to make me sleep for the operation. This brought on mental illness. Finally my mother pushed and pushed to put me on a disability support pension instead of encouraging me to get a job. People would say that It's good to have money and I don't have to work. Personally I would rather be mainstream society and work full time. People don't relize Mental Illness sufferers suffer. I have been an adult for 20 years and could never get a girl friend ever. So if you decide to smoke weed and become mentally ill, and you live in australia you may never ever ever get married, have children or even have a sexual relationship because to most women it is a taboo to have schizophenia.

About a year and half now, I have been diagnosis with diabetes which I firmly believe was created by the long use of Zeprexa. In addition to my psychosis conditions, I have now to battle with diabetes and high blood pressure. After a close investigation on my psychosis medication, I had stopped taking them for about three months, and saw a dramatic decrease in my weight (I lost about 30 pounds) but my psychiatric condition worsened. My family doctor encouraged me to go back on my psychosis medication, and I have put on 10 pounds back so far just in 2 months. I do have all supported documents from medical professionals. I want to know if I qualify for Zeprexa Class Action Lawsuit in Ontario.

I've been prescribed zoloft and paxil as well as zyprexa ( may 02 2007 I'm holding my bottle of them right now)and it seams all of them are recalls.I just wish that drugs should be like car company's that send you a recall notice because my life has been a living hell .I only was prescribed zyprexa because I was depressed due to a back injury and it was covered from WSIB.with this drug I found I charged with assaulting my girlfriend and having no memory of it on my birthday.I'm afraid of doctors,I been cut off WSIB because I couldn't handle dealing with them right after I was put on zyprexa .I'm just glad my girlfriend understands and now supports me. I don't take anything now and will never again after all this who could blame me.

Yes, it has helped me. But there is diffently a pretty tight line to walk. to make it work the best for me and it also causes constipation. So I have to counter act that also. I'm sorry to hear about so many people not having success on this drug. But it has helped me. And I'm not dibetic at the point anyway, but my Dr. is very close monitor on me getting tests done every 3 months.

  I took zyprexa for several years I immediately gained 40-50 pounds. When taken off my weight fell back to normal. Unfortunately I am now diabetic requiring daily handfulls of drugs to control my sugar levels. Even more unfortunate, is how long it took to diagnose the diabetes when they knew of my history with zyprexa. The difficulty driving, the accidents, the constant fatique.

To me thats were the medical negilence comes from from the source where the pill or medicine started from the maker of it. If zyprexa causes diabeties or any othe problems by taking this drug. To me it should have never been to drug stores. The people who make any kind of drug or drugs should have put the pills or any kind of medicine through a lot more testing even on animals may not be right but Id rather my get diabeties or my rat or any animal get the side effects from any and all drugs before my child or any child as far as that matters. When the ones that make a pill and says this will cure your Schizophrenia & its side effects is diabeties. That and they knew that it would. Should have never left the Pharmaceutcal company or companies to be put in the moms and dads who supoose to trust their drugs for a cures to their child or children or maybe even kids So if you want my opinion. THE DRUGS THAT ARE BEING SENT OUT HAS NOT BEEN THREW THE RINGER LONG ENUFF TO BE SURE OF IT DOSE AND WHAT IT CAN TRULEY DO TO MY CHILD OR MAYBE EVEN YOUR CHILD OR MAYBE EVEN THE PARENTS WHO WORK AT THE PHARMACEUTCAL COMPANY OR COMPANIES.

I also find that I am VERY lethargic compared to being before on Zyprexa. My family doctor wants nothing to do with the drugs. She flatly poiinted out that I need to see the shrinks, but the shrinks are not avalaible and basically FORCE this medication on you. a visit to the shrink is 10 min. and then they told me I am stabillized, which I am not. I get suicidal thoughts but I cannot act on them. Seroquel does not work on me at all and made me feel very bad. I used to take care of my appearance and now I am too lethargic to jump into the shower for days. It is hard for me to keep jobs, because I started self medicating with alcohol.
