And Zyprexa Makes its Exit

Here I am weaning off Zyprexa, and this happens. The last two days I've had a nasty cold (with fever) and had to go to the ER because I had chest pain and my INR was subtheraputic. (I.e. my blood was too thick.) Then I get a call from the doctor I saw a few weeks ago about my liver. I knew I have fatty liver disease. But now, they say its the next stage up and the only other stage left is cirrhosis. Cure? Lose weight. Why did it happen? They didn't say, but I looked it up and it seems that Zyprexa is well-known for fatty liver disease. Imagine that: Very high cholesterol and now one step away from cirrhosis of the liver. Zyprexa is evil! I hope Rexulti doesn't do this.
