Saphris A miracle Drug?

I have Read Lots and lots of Reviews Claiming That Saphris is A Miracle Antipsychotic I Tried It for 5 days (5mg 2X) but the morning dose was Sedating So I Stopped It… Any One Tried Saphris
-Does The Sedation go Away ??
-Does it Help Concention/Studying etc. ??

  • Does it make You depressed And Flat Like Risperdal ??

I hated saphris and had to be taken off it within about five days because it made me suicidal.

It made me very tired, I only took it at night. I would be fast asleep within twenty minutes of taking it.

Saphris is just another D2 blocking Atypical Antipsychotic.

Its Sub lingual - and dissolves under the tongue and tastes like crap supposedly.

The reason why I refused this drug is because it causes some pretty serious allergic reactions - it is not uncommon with this drug.

Because it is Sub lingual, it works very fast and knocks many people out within minutes of taking it.

Not the drug for me

  • When I 1st started taking it they tried to make me take a morning dose but it knocked me out. So we changed it to a larger PM dose. I fall asleep within about 10 minutes of taking it and am out for about 10 hours but wake up clear headed. But on days when I have to get up to work, I can get up after 8 hours of sleep with no problem. I’ve been on it 3 years now and no the sedation does not go away with time.

  • It really is the drug for me compared to others I’ve tried. I stopped dissociating and am in the present, reality based almost all of the time.

*The only SE I had was akathesia which eventually went away on its own without an add-on med. @Wave almost all drugs cause serious allergic reactions of some sort or another and then rarely, I think the SE profile of Saphris is lower than most other AP’s out there. And as to the taste, its Black Cherry flavored which overpowers the chemical taste of the med. But I guess if you have a more sensitive palate than mine you might be able to taste the med.

  • Compared with other meds like clozaril and risperdal I would say that yes I have more concentration and can study for longer periods of time. That is when my depression doesn’t get in the way.

  • Compared to the other meds I’ve tried I definately feel the gamut of emotions instead of feeling flat like I did on the others. I was a zombie on the others. I feel almost near like my old self on Saphris.
