I've taken Saphris before. It worked well for some of my symptoms but I couldn't stay on it due to several really bad side-effects that made staying on it impossible. How is it working for you so far? I hope you are doing okay.

I took Saphris for a month. It worked very we'll for my symptoms, but caused constant intestinal problems. After one month I got acute depression which lasted for 3 weeks. Hope it continues to work well for you,though.

UPDATE
I am still taking Saphris 5mg and it is still helping very much, but I am still having hallucinations and voices but it is making them bearable and I am now able to is determine what is real and not but they still bother me but not nearly as badly. But Sapris have work better then any antipsychotic I have been on. But the two side effects I am experiencing is akathisia and sleeping allot. I am taking Artane for akathisia it have keep it under control, but is there anything that can be done for the drowsiness? |

Hi there. I took Saphris for a little while. I took 5mg at 3pm and 5 mg at 10pm. It made me so tired that I slept almost 24 hours a day. Then I became suicidal and I was put in the psych ward. I will never take it again. I hope that the Saphris works out for you. Good luck.
