"words can not describe it.  the medication has turned my life around.  i still can not believe what it has done for me.  my mind has slowed down so much without taking away my ability to think sharply.  i am truly happy.  anger, irritation, racing thoughts are almost completely gone.  i am bi polar 1 with gad and depression.  i too am a mixed episode/rapid cycle guy.  this med has givin me my life back.  i have been shedding anxiety and sleep meds left and right.  if you can&#039;t afford it, please look to canada.  you can get generic saphris (asenapine) very, very reasonable.  it could well be worth going through a reputable canadian pharmacy."
