My doctor introduced me to Saphris about a year ago, I love the stuff, prior to Saphris I took seroquel to combat the insomnia side effect of anti-depressant and that was a very bad time for me, but Saphris is amazing in my opinion.

I like Saphris as well, except that it gives me hand tremors, but it does help with my moods.

Do you get the cherry flavor? I didn't find it too bad. It didn't work for me though and caused massive weight gain and morning sedation (I took it all at night)

I think I had the black cherry and it wasn't too bad, but I think it messes up my taste buds. Things just don't taste right anymore.

I had the black cherry as well doesn't taste so bad but makes my mouth numb and gave me bad tremors. It hasn't been working for me so far. I'm on 10mg at night. Seems to give me mixed moods. Seeing my pdoc on Monday to change up. I liked it at first though. Glad it works for you!
