Does Saphris help with psychosis?
human
I have just been prescribed Saphris.  I was dx with MDD but I have psychotic episodes ?  I sometimes hear my mom or sister calling me (they're in heaven) or hear a DJ's conversation on the radio (no radio or tv in the room).  Does this help with the psychosis?

Hello thanks for asking from HCMSaphris is asenapine and the drug is a good anti-psychotic drug and it is also used in mood disorders. The complaints like hearing voices of your dead mother or sister or hearing conversions of DJ are most likely hallucinations. Occurrence of hallucinations are most likely due to poor control of psychotic symptoms. Asenapine is a new antipsychotic drug but as per my opinion its not causing complete response. There is a need to consult your psychiatrist again. Medicines like Clozapine can prove useful in resistant symptoms. So please consult your psychiatrist again.Thanks
