This is for BD II. My doctor and I decided to take me off of Cymbalta after two years of being on it, and we're going to try Saphris instead. I'm on a lot of other meds (trileptal, vyvanse, adderall, cymbalta, buspar) but we believe the Invega is causing a lot of the symptoms I don't like. I'm just...flat. I've been very very depressed for a long time, and haven't had any mania in at least a year. My brain is cripplingly foggy and I'm constantly exhausted, along with being very irritable. I've been reading some reviews on Saphris and many of them say that they've had great results switching from Invega to Saphris. Doesn't make them drowsy, makes the irritability cease, makes them feel much more "awake and aware" than they were on other meds. Has anyone else tried it, or switched from something else to it? I start my first dose tonight, 5 mg, then go up to 10 mg in 10 days. Thanks for any input.

I haven't personally, but here's a blog that I found about Saphris. http://blogs.psychcentral.com/bipola...light-saphris/
