In tonight's episode of Criminal Intent, both Geodon and Zyprexa were mentioned--no controversy over either in the plot, though. But a suspect's saying he takes Geodon helped confirm that he is on meds, because Det. Gorin said that because it only just came out last year, the suspect would have been unlikely to have heard of it unless it was prescribed to him--ie, it is not well known to the public. The suspect and other individuals with mental illness (including the one on Zyprexa) turned out to be victims of medical abuse by a mentally ill opthalmologist, as well as being used for a medicaid scam by their residential benefactors.
