"i like saphris but have experienced the nasty side effect of weight gain.  i had tried 4 other anti psychotics and all of them made me put on weight without relieving me of my bi polar symptoms.  i am staying on saphris because for the first time i feel normal. no more high highs or low lows.  however the increased appetite drives me nuts.  i literally obsess about food all day. i recently cut out all processed sugar to see if this helps. if anyone has any advice i&#039;d love to hear it."
