Seroquel XR makes be depressed, it simply pooped out

Here in the States, Saphris is indicated for Schizophrenia and Bipolar.
It does not matter that it is approved just for Bipolar in your country.
Lots of APs are approved for Schizophrenia first then they are approved for Bipolar.
It’s an AP so it could help with your SZ symptoms.
If you are interested in trying Saphris, you can talk with your doctor about it.
Good luck @jeroenp
saphris made me psychotic but thats just me.
I tryed it for a couple weeks; not long enough to make a verdict on whether or not it works.
Your tongue will be numb. I lost the ability to taste sweet things:cookie:
on saphris, everything tasted like pringles.
Saphris made me seriously suicidal. But it may not have that effect on you.
You should talk to your doctor about it.
saphris helped me for a while. knocked me out after 30 mins
I don’t think there are too many Saphris users on here so I always chime in about it. I’ve been on it for 3 years. Like any med it has its good and bad points. For me it is a great drug. Sticking out the first few weeks is the hardest part because it is a new experience. Like @eduvigis said your tongue will go numb because its sublingual but it is flavored, some say they can still taste the chemical but I can’t over the black cherry flavoring. I do think I’ve lost some sense of taste as I need more salt and spices in my foods but then I also think that that may be something to do with aging and changing taste buds. After my pdoc and I found the correct dosage my hallucinations and dissociation went away completely. It is very sedating, I fall asleep within 30 minutes of taking it and sleep anywhere from 9-12 hours. But I wake up clear headed not foggy/groggy as I had on other meds. Also after taking it is the uncontrollable urge to move your legs around until you fall asleep. This went away after a while and annoyed my partner more than me. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
