"i began taking saphris for the purpose of helping me sleep.  i took it &quot;as needed&quot; as originally instructed.  at first, it seemed to help me fall asleep and shut off the constant whirl of my brain at night.  when i began taking it nightly and increasing my dosage, as instructed, to 10 mg rather than 5 mg, (i was instructed to take it all at once), i began to get a very itchy and painful rash.  one patch is very red and inflamed and about the size of a silver dollar.  i also began to notice that the noise in my brain at night worsened to a hypomanic state.  i have insomnia now, instead of sleeping well as i was when first taking it.  i&#039;ve also had migraines.  i don&#039;t know if this is all connected to saphris."
