For Bipolar Disorder "Lybalvi has reworked olanzapine into a masterpiece. The buzz is that when sandimorphan is approved as a standalone med, it will treat personality disorders and addictions. For my Bipolar 2 Disorder, it has shaved off my nervous edge. I like myself more. It offers the mania-busting calm of olanzapine but makes me feel like I belong in this world. My doctor has once again improved my life immeasurably by knowing what to prescribe."

For Bipolar Disorder "I like this medication. I was not sure I wanted to take it because Zyprexa caused serious weight gain. I gained about 13-15 lbs in a month, and that’s my only complaint. My irritability is much better. I have lost my libido, completely disinterested, and that would be why I stop this medication. Samidorphan is related to Naltrexone, by the way, so if you take medication for pain management or enjoy drinking alcohol, you may want to take another medication as it acts like an antagonist to the opioid receptors."

"I've had some constipation and dry mouth, but no other serious side effects so far. I have lost 25 pounds in about 6 months. I have noticed some restlessness and anxiety but my doctor is treating that along with insomnia with a different medication. Lybalvi has been great helping manage my bipolar symptoms since coming off of lithium after being diagnosed with CKD. I am on 20mg/10mg dose and feeling stable."

"Not good for sleep. I suffered a traumatic brain injury 30 years ago and have a lot of problems with sleep. This drug seems to worsen my insomnia. I'm very active and have a difficult time stopping. I have had no hallucinations and voices in my head have stopped. I really miss sleep. The stopping of hallucinations and voices in my head is why I stay on the medication. If you need to be rested because of your daily activities, I would not recommend."

For Bipolar Disorder "I was on the lowest dose of Lybalvi and was switched to it from Olanzapine, because I was told that Lybalvi had the Olanzapine with the Sanadorphin to combat weight gain. While the Lybalvi did help to stabilize my mood and helped with my motivation, I did feel tired and had trouble waking up. Not only that, but I got to my heaviest weight ever because I always felt hungry. People claim this medication is the best, but I will never forget how its side effects ruined my confidence."

For Schizophrenia "I'm in the second month of taking the drug. I was on Zyprexa alone for five years. This stuff has a punch. Don't drive cars. Hopefully I can get over the sedation in another couple weeks."
