Since my last episode, they put me on saphris. I've been on it for a year. Before that I was on haldol for about a year. I truly believe I do not need an ap. It helps with sleep. I really don't understand why they are keeping me on it. I havent had an episode in over a year. I never experienced any real bad hallucinations and never any auditory.
I think aps should be used short-term while in mania/psychosis. I fear for long-term side effects of these heavy duty drugs, which there is not much research out there on. Studies have shown APs increase the size of grey katter in the brain. this drug also makes me sleep 10+ hours a night and I hate it. I want off!
Are you on an AP? Thoughts?
