Finally, my current pdoc prescribed Gabapentin and that has really helped level off the anxiety.

My pdoc started me back on 20 mg of saphris at night and 5 mg during the day and I white knuckled it for a week until things subsided. That happened August 2016. Then it was an up down tango till Jan 2017 and things started to even out. HEY since that was my last nervous breakdown shouldn't my brain be healed by now?!?!?! My pdoc always says it takes 1-2 years after a nervous or psychotic breakdown for the brain to heal. Can I get my money back?
