This is the most horrible medicine I have ever taken. I took it for 3 months. I became severely depressed while taking it. It was the worst depression I have been through in my 11 years of dealing with this horrible mental illness. I became completely psychotic and suicidal. I put a dangerous weapon to my throat and wanted to die. I hurt myself with a dangerous weapon and was taken to the ER.

I was asked to try the med because it is supposed to be better at opposing weight gain.I was asked to stop my pristiq so that we could tell what the med actually does. I started the med on Monday & was bursting into tears by Wed & Thurs was awful (I bawled over Ray Stevens Mississippi Squirrel Revival, no joke).

I started the med on Monday & was bursting into tears by Wed & Thurs was awful (I bawled over Ray Stevens Mississippi Squirrel Revival, no joke). Dr. doesn't work on Fri, so I have decided to give it until Mon when I can phone conference with her. Last night I awoke after two hours of good sleep and was up the rest of the night, finally took a klonopin in desperation & did get a few hours sleep. I am not a happy camper and may have to get back on the zyprexa & be satisfied with being a well adjusted fat person. Will update in a week.

I reviewed this drug once, and now am updating my recent discoveries. I have been on saphris a little over 2 and a half months. I have continued gaining weight about 20 lbs I can account to this drug. My shrink said the norm is 4 lbs. She decided to do blood work to see what could be causing this continuous weight gain.

I reviewed this drug once, and now am updating my recent discoveries. I have been on saphris a little over 2 and a half months. I have continued gaining weight about 20 lbs I can account to this drug. My shrink said the norm is 4 lbs. She decided to do blood work to see what could be causing this continuous weight gain. I am even taking 50 mg of adderall a day!!! WELL< my chloresteral levels were off the charts!!! I guess a good number is around 100 or so. I came in at 280!!!!!!! Somehow this mixes in with the weight gain, I don't yet know all I need to know. I am being put on an aspirin regimen and also have to take a pill to help get that level down before I have a heart attack. I have enough stress and anxiety daily and am very scared as my father had heart disease and heart attacks. I am only 34. SO PLEASE anyone trying saphris keep on top of it and get your blood levels checked. Wish you the best, Lucid
