Anyone have any experience with this med? I was given samples of it today. I didn't even know what type of med it was until I got home. It's an atypical antipsychotic.

Here's the deal. I take Geodon 2x a day and have daytime drowsiness. So I saw the p-doc today and she said to take Geodon only at night and also to take one tab of this Saphris. I'm confused as to why I would need 2 kinds at once.

I do hear a vicious voice if I don't take my Geodon twice daily, so I'm worried that if I just take each of these one time in a 24 hour period, that they will wear off before the next dose.

Saphris only came out in August of 2009. I wonder if I'm the only one who's on it around here.

I wonder if it's even correct to prescribe two atypicals at once. Don't most of them have warnings about that? I can't find any warnings like that, but there's not much info about it online.

Thanks for any help.
