I was just Rx'd Saphris. I am supposed to take 2.5mg at bed for three nights and then move up to 5mg at bedtime after that.
Anyone have any experience with this? I keep reading that the trails were for 5mg twice daily or even 10mg twice daily. I've found nothing about 5mg once daily...? The only other Rx's I have are Klonopin 1mg PRN and Ritalin 20mg 2x a day. So the Saphris is monotherapy for Bipolar 1, not adjunctive with any other med or mood stabilizer for BP. Thoughts? __________________ Dx: BP1, ADD, OCD, PTSD, GAD Current: Topamax 200mg, Ativan 1mg PRN, Lamictal 200mg, Ritalin 20mgx2, Klonopin 1mg PRN, Omega 3 Abilify 10mg Past & failed: Seroquel, Saphris, Lithium, Neurontin, Wellbutrin, Prozac, Effexor, Zoloft, Celexa, Paxil, Remeron, Vistaril, Haldol, Ambien, Restoril Xanax and now most likely Abilify |

I took 5mg daily and it worked beautifully for me. Take it about 20 minutes before you want to sleep.

Got to take it before you sleep it'll knock you out. I became allergic to it by getting extreme intestinal issues,and mouth sores.

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