Lybalvi (olanzapine / samidorphan) 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."

Lybalvi (olanzapine / samidorphan) for Bipolar Disorder "I have had a good experience. I still have bipolar symptoms and supplement the Lybalvi with 10 mg of generic olanzapine. It has controlled the mania well. The depression is more difficult to manage. I started taking it in early July of 2022. I had been on Zyprexa for about 10 years and gained a lot of weight. I have lost 110 pounds since I began taking Lybalvi."

Lybalvi (olanzapine / samidorphan) 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."

Lybalvi (olanzapine / samidorphan) "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."

Lybalvi (olanzapine / samidorphan) 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 "It curbes my appetite. I haven’t had any severe side effects except occasional twitching, dizziness and drowsiness. Since being on this medication I’ve noticed the auditory and visual hallucinations have gone to a minimal. There are some days better than others if I don’t take Lybalvi on time such as it’s hard to wake up in the morning and I have to slowly get up from the bed until the dizziness goes away. I take it at night right at bedtime. Overall this has helped with controlling my mood swings. I don’t feel aggressive, I don’t feel depressed, I don’t feel manic."

Lybalvi (olanzapine / samidorphan) "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 really excited to try this one out since olanzapine had a decent therapeutic effect for me previously, but the side effects were horrible. This new drug combination is supposed divert the weight gain side effect, which should have also had some impact on glucose, lipids, and cholesterol. Unfortunately for me, I am still gaining weight as fast as I did one regular olanzapine without the samidorphan. The somnolence and nausea were pretty bad. The insatiable appetite probably did not help either. I am meeting with my doctor this week to discuss another alternative."

Lybalvi (olanzapine / samidorphan) for Bipolar Disorder "My experience was great at first, it helped to get my mixed episodes under control with very little manic episodes. I loved taking it, but have since stopped due to the fact it raised my blood sugar levels and caused my PCP to believe I had type 2 diabetes. It doesn't run in my family and since I stopped taking it (sadly) my levels have returned to normal. I was on 5/10mg of Lybalvi, but after about 6 months I had to stop it. Kudos to those who can, cause it is very helpful in managing symptoms."

Lybalvi (olanzapine / samidorphan) for Bipolar Disorder "I've been taking this medication for over 2 months. It helps me sleep, and it controls my suicidal ideations. It has done wonders for my mental health. I am on 20 mg of this drug. I have gained weight from the generic form of Zyprexa. My doctor told me that this drug should not cause any weight gain. I have not lost nor gained any weight since starting this drug. I hope to lose the weight that I gained from the generic form. I am happy with this drug."

Lybalvi (olanzapine / samidorphan) 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."
