Cool CopperStar. There are always new studies and hundreds of millions of dollars going into new meds. Newer AAPs like Saprhis, Geodon, Latuda, and even Abilify still are big big huge profit centers and money makers. Of those that actually get FDA approval and make it to market, there are dozens more that are in development.

I have always been curious about Zyprexa. It's good to hear that it's working so well for you as monotherapy and without massive weight gain. I would probably have to go with Zyprexa if I lost insurance and could no longer afford Latuda.

What other treatments are you doing? DBTs? Mindfulness? Solid diet, scheduling, and routine?

How far is your stability taking you? Are you working? How are your close relationships?

I am excited to hear of your success.
