I was on Saphris briefly and it felt the same as the Abilify - I was me again, happy, energetic, creative, but not hypo. But it didn't last. So far the Abilify is lasting and I hope it's the one that keeps working for me.
Abilify worked great for me----however I wasn't actively symptomatic when I started it so I will always wonder if it was effective at all----I was on risperidone before that too but I couldn't stand the side effects...how long have you been on abilify now?
