I took it for 2 days. It tastes like ****, but supposedly has the least side effects of all the antipsychotics.

I am 2 doses in with the Saphris. Woke up today with really blurry vision, otherwise no side effects so far.

Ive been on saphris, the side effects are minimal but yea, its sublingual and tastes like crap, and u cant eat or drink anything for 10 minutes after u take it, ( but u can suck on a sweet tart or something similar to help with the taste)
