I was on 20 mg Saphris and 900 mg lithium for around 1 3/4 years. I decided to go off the meds as I'm having problems with tardive dyskinesia and I think my problems stemmed from hypothyroidism, not psych problems. I am continuing the thyroid meds.

I weaned myself down to 10 mg Saphris and 300 mg lithium for a week, no problems. Then I cut them out entirely.

I haven't slept in 8 nights!

No my pdoc wouldn't approve at all, but she is a pill pusher anyway so I don't listen to her.

Any thoughts as to how much longer I'll go without sleep? I'm not terribly tired, but I'll hit the wall eventually.
