I have to agree with the statement that zyprexa is like the prozac of atypicals, it is being prescribed for just about everything, even by GPs. Prozac is a pretty benign drug so it is not that big of a problem. Zyprexa, on the other hand, is not so benign. For many, it is an incredibly effective lifesaver but others are being given it for shocking reasons. There is a guy on the depressionforums website who was prescribed it for, get this, sleep difficulty. Not bipolar. Not schizophrenic. Just plain sleep difficulty. Wow.
