Via Furious Seasons blog (support the winter fundraiser of this non-pharma-funded independent journalist's work):
The Bonkers Institute website has hosted brochures from the British NHS (National Health Service) telling kids and teens what to expect when they take their drug, for example ZYPREXA.
ZYPREXA/Olanzapine by Eli Lilly, and the drug that caused my 11 year old when she took it for 6 years to gain 100lbs, have drug withdrawals and pretty much ruined her life, is one of the brocheres the NHS wants Bonkers to remove from Internet viewing.

"Wow, the British government charges for these brochures? I wonder what groups use them and under what circumstances. And don't you just love the irony of the British government trying to censor an American website? Good luck with that!"
I agree!

British National Health Service leaflet, 2007.
Medicines ~ Information NHS Your Medicine is called Olanzapine Pronounced "o-lan-za-peen
"Many children, teenagers and young people need to take medicines prescribed by doctors to help them stay well and healthy. People take medicines for many different reasons and some medicines can be used for more than one reason.What does olanzapine look like? Your olanzapine may be small tablets that you swallow. Or may be tablets that dissolve on your tongue. If you find it hard to swallow tablets, try taking them with a cold drink, or ask your doctor if you can try the type that dissolve on the tongues. How do I take olanzapine? Olanzapine is taken once a day. It is a good to take olanzapine at bedtime, as it can make some people feel sleepy.
Why am I taking olanzapine?
It can help if you are having thoughts that leave you feeling frightened or confused, or if you are hearing upsetting or annoying voices when nobody is there. It can also help if you are worried or frightened, or confused, and if you are finding it hard to concentrate on doing normal everyday tasks.What does olanzapine do? It works in the brain to help you feel calm, and not feel anxious or worried or confused.Are there any other effects?
When you first start taking olanzapine it may make you feel a bit sleepy, but this should wear off after a few days.
It may make you feel like eating more food.
If this happens, try not to eat more than usual, and talk to an adult or your doctor about this.
How long do I need to take olanzapine for?
You will need to keep taking olanzapine until your doctor tells you to stop. It helps to keep you well, so you should keep taking it even if you feel better.

The opinion stated here is mine, that Zyprexa caused, based on truth and fact my daughter's body grave harm when it was prescribed to her as a teenager, and as a parent I would never promote this drug being given to children under age 17, and adults should use wise informed consent. The drug has a black box warning on it in the USA for diabetes. I do not have any affiliation with any drug company, the NHS or the FDA or other entity/agency. Just a mother of a daughter disabled by psychiatric medications who sees her daughter suffer every single day. I am not promoting taking or not taking your pills if you take them, ask your doctor what to do to go off of them.

**The photograph is mine. I took it in my kitchen. It's of the Zyprexa my daughter took, the Zyprexa was all prescribed to a child under age 17 in the USA. She gained 100lbs in less than one year. The drug was not approved for her age by the FDA. Notice the 5mg. bottle. She was instructed to take the pill at 5pm. "5 at 5 o'oclock", "Viva Zyprexa" Lilly marketing campaign slogan, which my daughter was a victim. See the label "VivaZyprexa" below.
