When I came off saphris I barely slept for about 10 days, and even after that my sleep wasn't great. I really wanted off all APs, but I decided on a low dose of seroquel at night for sleep (50 mg), and that seems to be working. I have zopiclone for the occasions when I really can't sleep, but I don't like to take that often. I've pretty much accepted that a little bit of seroquel is the closest I can get to no AP right now. But my emotional range and expression is better since being off saphris or anything else at a higher dose. I needed it for a while when things were bad, but I'm happy not to take it forever
