The problem I want to solve is the hidden, permanent neurological damage caused by the antipsychotic drug Zyprexa (olanzapine), which is still being prescribed without adequate warnings.In 1998, I was prescribed Zyprexa for a brief episode.

I am not alone. Many survivors suffer in silence, their cognitive and emotional damage dismissed as part of their original illness. By demanding a BLACK BOX WARNING for permanent neurological harm and pushing for a full safety review, we can:

- Validate the suffering of thousands who have lost their sense of self.
- Force accountability on Big Pharma and ensure "informed consent" is more than a formality.
