I stopped taking my meds for a short time recently out of fear of TD, weight gain and believing they were making my physically sicker. I felt better physically for about 4 days after stopping and then got very sick again so knew it wasn't the meds making me sick and my son needs me at my best so I started taking them again awhile ago and have been consistent. The Saphris has been helping me sleep like nothing before it has and that seems to be making all the difference. I'm undeniably getting better and more clear headed .....I'm still afraid of TD, but I fear becoming unstable most right now. I hope to be able to get off the meds someday....for my life to be smooth enough to be able to risk it. Now is not that time though.
