Finally a drug that works for my BP-II. Taking 10mg. Once I take it, I've got 45 minutes before I'm out for the night. The tongue 'numbing' effect I get is annoying

Omg, what a life changer. The taste is not that bad, can't believe all the complaints. I have only been using one month but felt myself, alive, alert, happy, at day six. If this continues for me it will be my miracle drug after about 10 mishaps on other meds. Sleep is easy, dreams are amazing, not drowsy upon awakening.

I was originally diagnosed Bipolar 1 in the midst of a mixed episode. My dr put me on a few different meds like risperidone, abilify, even zyprexa. The Zyprexa made me sleep 20 hours a day and I could barely function. Then we tried Saphris. Life changer! I am currently on 20mg at night and I can sleep well and wake alert and ready for the day.

I was originally diagnosed Bipolar 1 in the midst of a mixed episode. My dr put me on a few different meds like risperidone, abilify, even zyprexa. The Zyprexa made me sleep 20 hours a day and I could barely function. Then we tried Saphris. Life changer! I am currently on 20mg at night and I can sleep well and wake alert and ready for the day. It puts me to sleep within an hour of taking it so definitely take it when planning to go to sleep. It has cleared my thinking, diminished the agitation and paranoia pretty well, and calmed my urges to hurt myself from the anxiety I was feeling. My dr recently changed my diagnosis to Schizoaffective because I was having some break through hallucinations even outside of a mood episode but upping the dose to 20mg has helped rid me of those for the most part. I haven't gained any weight and my appetite has remained normal. Now I have been at my current job for over a year when I was struggling to function daily before starting Saphris. I thank God that I have my life back and feel great on it along with 200mg Lamictal and 10mg Lexapro for depression. I wish the best to all who are trying this new med!

It is a plain miracle med for me. It has changed my life. Mind has slowed without loss of sharpness, I feel so happy, virtually no side effects for me. Has made me have more of an appetite. Anger, irritation, impatience and poor mood virtually gone. My feeling of well being is amazing. Meds don't work the same for everybody but this drug has saved me.
