Sounds promising! Thanks for sharing about it. I hope people who need it can afford any copays.

Zyprexa worked quite well on stabilizing my moods, too, but I only took it briefly as it caused me not only rapid weight gain, but awful akathisia. I hope this new med has little chance of both. I remember an inpatient psychiatrist telling me that Zyprexa should be kept in mind in the future as an "emergency only med."
