Hey guys,

Twice in the last week (since switching to Saphris), I have become disoriented. It has alarmed my family. The first time, I was taking a walk with my wife in my very small neighborhood and I suddenly did not know where I was. I was one block from my house. The second time, I was in my bedroom bathroom upstairs taking my meds, and then I was in my downstairs bathroom looking at the mirror, apparently having used the toilet.

I don't know if I just kind of zoned out in a normal way like when you're driving and suddenly you're home or if this is some sort of disassociation issue that needs to be addressed with my pdoc. It was very disorienting and a little upsetting.

I don't want to stop Saphris. It is working so well. What do you guys think?

I've got a lot going on right now. Maybe I'm just really distracted.

I run on autopilot a lot! With that said, I still think it's very important to mention to your doctor. Let them know you're not sure it's the saphris and hope you do t have to stop taking it. Good luck.

Yeah, I tend to do that as well. This was just a little more than usual. I don't want to make up symptoms that aren't there or anything, but it alarmed my wife and my daughter when it happened. That's when I start paying attention.

I didn't know where I was half the time when I was still drinking! It had nothing to do with my meds, though.

Clean and sober. It's proooobably nothing at all, but I'm just really mindful of it right now. My strategy is to live more in the moment to see if that's all it is.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
