Not only did it make me really tired, gain weight, depersonalized…but I remember being on it and having intense psuedohallucinations…which was my worst symptom.
Watch out for saphris …I know not many of us take saphris. But I respond to medication really well. But not saphris.
Thoughts?
I was put on saphris briefly. It gave me really constant suicidal thoughts. I was researching different agricultural poisons to drink and was forever seeing images of myself dead by my own hand.
It was unrelenting so I called my psychiatrist. It was unbearable for me. I think I was on it for a total of five days.
I seem to be in the minority. Saphris was a big game changer for me. I hate reading these posts about it because it may discourage other people from trying it because it can be a really great drug for some people. Saphris stopped my command hallucinations and SI/SU almost immediately after we found the correct dosage, stopped the depersonalization and dissociation over a couple of weeks, has been weight neutral (I’ve actually lost about 25lbs), I do sleep a lot but when I don’t take it I don’t sleep at all. At first the side effects were really annoying but over time they either went away or became tolerable.
Sorry to generalize
I’m glad you’ve found saphris works for you!
I take back my post
