"i am a fine artist with bipolar. i have been taking saphris for almost a month, which was added to my other medicines lithium and depakote. the first night (5mg) i woke to use the restroom and felt so dizzy i thought there was no way i would be taking it again - even in the morning i felt so tired, but it lifted around noon and i just felt calm the rest of the day. the next day was a little better and so on. after a week my psych doctor put me on 10mg at bedtime but after 4 days still felt too tired to do much but watch t.v, so went down to 5mg again.  racing thoughts have leveled out and i no longer have paranoia/suspicious feelings and anger problems are all but gone. best of all i enjoy working on my art again and can concentrate more on it!"
