The drug Zyprexa was created in the hope that the debilitating side effects of traditional antipsychotics would be abolished. Some of these severe side effects included extra pyramidal symptoms which influence, muscles and coordination, tardive dyskinea which causes random but rapid body movements. In addition side effects such as neuroleptic malignant syndrome of high fevers, sweating and uneven blood pressure were not uncommon. Even though these side effects were incapacitating and lasting, the need for reliable antipsychotic medications outweighed any potential harm they caused.
