I've tried it but it was way too sedating for me. I just stick to regular Olanzapine now.

I was on it. It did not reduce the weight gain caused by Olanzapine. I came off of of it in the end.

I haven’t noticed any significant gain and my mood has been good so I’m sticking with it for now!

@HALLIEBETH87,

I am back on Lybalvi. It is great for mood. I am now also on Naltrexone, hoping that it would attenuate the hunger Lybalvi can produce as a side effect.

Are you still on it? Is that the medication that allowed you to reach your big milestone -- the graduation?
