Zyprexa has been linked to a high incidence of diabetes, hyperglycemia, pancreatitis and other blood sugar disorders. Many patients on Zyprexa gain weight and develop diabetes soon after beginning the medication. Originally marketed by Eli Lilly as having fewer motor side effects such as tardive dyskenisia than the older antipsychotics such as Haldol, Zyprexa has turned out to be dangerous for many people on the drug. In April 2005, the FDA warned that Zyprexa and other drugs in the class can cause premature death in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis.

In 1996, Zyprexa was approved for sale in the United States. For many years, remarkable recoveries seemed to confirm early excitement about this medication. The first generation of antipsychotic drugs had terrible side effects, such as dry mouth, stiffness, and trembling, and patients stopped using them as a result. Zyprexa seemed to have fewer side effects than previous antipsychotic drugs.

Zyprexa may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting; alcohol, hot weather, exercise, or fever may increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Sit or lie down at the first sign of any of these effects.
