Saphris
bipolar disorde
"I've been on Seroquel for 6 yrs and have had nightmares the whole time.  I switched to Saphris 4 days ago, 5 mg morning and night plus 112.5 mg Effexor.  I'm amazed at waking up early in the morning after 8 hrs sleep on Saphris where I've been sleeping 12 hrs a night previously on Seroquel then still a zombie for the next 3 hrs. 

The morning dose sedated me so I'm changing to 10mg at night and also adding lamotrigine this week.  I haven't felt this good in many years, but I'm not elevated 



I have BP 1 and live in Australia.  As I'm on disability, all of my medications only cost $6.20 each as its subsidised by the govt. I feel very sad for everyone in the USA with chronic illnesses.  It's just not fair."
