I've posted lots about my problems with Saphris, so I've decided I am stopping it. My pdoc doesn't support this, but she doesn't understand me all that well, and she does not understand my motivation for taking this risk. I'm going to Burning Man next week, and I want to be clear from it by the time I get there. The half life is 24 hours, which means it will take about 5 days to get out of my system. I was on 10 mg, so I dropped it down to 5 mg for the past 4 days, and now I've stopped it as of tonight. I have melatonin to help with the insomnia, and I'm not sure what else to expect for withdrawal. I know that this is a risky thing to do, but I have decided it's worth the risk. This is an antipsychotic, but I am taking it as a mood stabilizer and not for psychosis, so I'm not at risk of becoming psychotic now. I think my biggest risk is depression, but I don't feel at all depressed right now so I think I will be fine. I want to fully experience Burning Man without being emotionally blunted. I'm going to bring some with me in case I need it. I think the next week might be a little bit difficult for me. Wish me luck...
