Sacramento Zyprexa Attorney, Sacramento Zyprexa Drug Lawyer, Sacramento Dangerous Drug Attorney

Olanzapine or Zyprexa is an antipsychotic drug for the schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. Zyprexa belongs to the thienobenzodiazepine group of durgs, which are atypical antipsychotics. Zyprexa is similar to clozapine or resperidone. Zyprexa or Olanzapine works by blocking specific dopamine and serotonin receptors that are believed to be linked to schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders including depression.

The conditions that Zyprexa is commonly prescribed to treat are:

• Schizophrenia
• Psychosis
• Bipolar disorder (manic depression)
• Dementia
• Anxiety
• Severe Agitation

Typically, people begin Olanzapine or Zyprexa treatment in low doses, and increasing them until they reach a therapeutic dose. It is not unusual for people to not see results for some time, until the dosage is increased to the proper levels and the drug has been in a patients system for several weeks. Once the drug is effective it can not be stopped or symtoms will return.

An estimated 3 million Americans have biopolar disorder which consists of cycles of mania and depression. Symptoms of mania may include delusions, drug and alcohol abuse, abnormal elation or irritability, and unrealistic views of ones abilities.
