That's the one that's Zyprexa and something to counteract the weight gain, right? Zyprexa is a good drug other than the side effects. Glad it's working out for you!

That's great news, HALLIEBETH! And thanks for sharing about this relatively new med. I knew next to nothing about it, but recall the name from a TV commercial. Though I'm doing fine now, I do like to keep up on new treatments. I was put on Zyprexa once, several years ago, during a hospitalization and it worked well at stabilization, but I gained weight rapidly, so they took me off. I remember the inpatient pdoc saying I should keep it as an option for emergency cases. If Lybalvi helps reduce weight gain tendencies, it could be an even better backup for me. I'm not sure if they prescribe it yet in Czech Republic, though.

It’s remarkable how calm I feel. Even with school stress and work demands
