Zyprexa ---- thienobenzodiazepine-- addictive ?
by Brighty, Jul 21, 2000 12:00AM
I know a girl being treated with Zyprexa for her eating disorder. Supposedly this drug will clear her distorted thinking that she is fat when in fact she is pathetically thin. I was told this drug causes weight gain and is the other reason she is on it. It is listed as a "thienobenzodiazepine". I cannot find any information on a search of this class of drug. Benzodiazepines are highly addictive and originally they were prescribed as "potentially habit forming". So what is this, a new class of benzos ??

You can research just about any drug at www.rxlist.com. It's basically the Physician's Desk Reference online.
