"have been on saphris, trileptal, and effexor for about 3 years now for bi-polar disorder and depression.  i take 5mg of saphris before bed and i can only sleep about 2 hours if i miss a dose of saphris.  otherwise, i sleep about 9 hours of deep and restful sleep.  i do not function well.  not sure which drug is responsible, but i have issues with focusing and memory that i never had before.  i still have thoughts of suicide almost daily, but this is the best i&#039;ve functioned on any drug and i&#039;ve been on them all except lithium."
