My pdoc has me on Saphris and I've been on it almost 2 weeks at 5 mgs. I think I've been taking it right because I've had the restless leg feeling which I'm seeing if I can live with (due to a history of asthma I can't take beta blockers for it).
But the past few days I haven't had that feeling and I'm worried I'm swallowing it too soon. My mouth gets really watery (esp using listerine strip to kill the taste) and I'm worried I'm not getting the full dose. For those who are taking it or have taken it - how long do you wait before swallowing? Also if you got the restless feeling did it go away? |

I have no experience with this sorry Bunnifoo. But it sounds horrible!! There were some others recently/ past few months talking about some kind of numb mouth with sapphris. Maybe ask Moose about it, I think she had it too unfortunately. It sounds just horrible, so does restless legs. I had restless legs with abilify, it was freaking hellish, pdoc took me off that right away.
Anyway, hope you might find some answers and get some relief. |

My hubby said that he tries not to swallow until it's completely dissolved under his tongue. However, he said after 10 days his restless leg problem went away. You just might have adjusted and the side effect went away. Good luck.

You DON'T swallow it. You let it melt under tounge. I was put on 20 mg at one time but it stopped working for me.

I had the numb tongue. And you're not supposed to swallow it but I would drool a lot and have to spit a lot out. i wasn't on it long though.

I wasn't swallowing until I thought the medicine was dissolved. It's just my mouth waters a lot and I had cold so I had to swallow so I could open my mouth and breathe.
But the other night I held it in my mouth as long as I could and ended up with the restless leg feeling. And I had a small anxiety attack. I took my other meds, I was groggy and couldn't sleep because of the feeling in my legs But I couldn't get up and move because I was so groggy. Plus I didn't get much sleep. Last night I skipped the Saphris so I could get some sleep without anxiety. I want to keep trying it but I get anxious but it makes the restless feeling worse and blah blah blah. |
