Danny we have worked long and hard for this to come to pass. To get rid of this drug, we have to make its prescription absolutely socially unacceptable. And the truth do tell, we are making it so. Bit I hope that this goes the whole hog and the drug is finally recalled. Getting financial relief for victims (unfortunately for far too many it is too late), and their families isn't going to do it - not for me at least. This District Court decision has made it possible for those in no fault countries like New Zealand to SUE. RAH! Class action suits will bring a global affair, not something the FDA can overlook, turning the other way as the damage is done. What has already been pointed out to me today is that people who are now prediabetic or maybe worse, got so many meds prescribed as this waffled on, it is hard to point a direct finger at zyprexa .... and it got prescribed for nearly every existing mental condition, including sleep disorders! Even getting a proper diagnosis became an abnormal condition. Perhaps the stock will really fall. I hope not before the payouts. These guys are so devious and underhanded, who knows? Maybe they planned it that way. Afterall, as the payouts piled up, zypexa sales revenues continued to soar EVEN AFTER the sales began to fall; they simply jacked up the price some more. Profitability continued to climg. I've heard it went up to $6 a pill; here in Ontario, Olanzapine sells for a more reasonable 60 cents or so. And someone is making rare profits off that, too! These were just preliminary comments. I didn't have time to think it all through - just a heap of moral questions popped into my mind. I am sure in days to come, some more material "will come through" to me, actually. But then I was never guilty of prescribing it to anyone!! and did have to duck and cover from myself. The APA has plenty of questions to ask ITSELF. There are no days off for good results in this battle royale, Danny, and you know that, too. PAY UP! GET RID OF THIS DRUG! Get the FDA to protect people PROMPTLY. Get Big Pharma out of the "education" of doctors racket; CME exam courses must be monitored. Last point of the day -- all these dis-eases and true mental and emotional imbalances existed before in history. What did people do before Big Pharma? How can we reclaim and institute real healing modalities that work without harm to individuals and the conscience? What mental illnesses are invented for profit? What must we do to make this a fair and equitable society? This zyprexa case raises many horrible, but necessary questions. In sisterhood, Danny, and BLESS YOU. Virginia by

Thanks for the info. I never have trusted any of the drug companies. If what the judge has ruled stands on appeal, LLY will go down very hard. And yes the law suits will fly. I don't personally know of anyone that has taken this drug. I'm sorry this company has harmed you but I know their are some smart attorneys out there that are going to hang this company out to dry. by
