A drug rep was at work Monday. Interesting news:

Med makers found a way to add a specific molecule to olanzipine and it stops the metabolic reactions typically seen from just plain olanzipine. Ie weight gain etc!!!!! For some people who switched they even lost weight.

I know that zyprexa works well for me but I can’t take it due to metabolic side effects. Just thought id share!
Lybalvi is what it’s is https://www.lybalvi.com/

Are you going to try it? It's worthless to me as Zyprexa doesn't do anything for me so I'll be staying on clozaril until someday something surpasses it. I wish they'd come up with a cleaner version of clozaril. No weight gain, drooling and bed-wetting would be lovely. But it works so I don't care.

I looked into it as it was recommended to me a few months back, you still gain weight just not as much.

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."
