eternal_mystery Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 So I asked my pdoc about going off Seroquel because of the weight gain and he agreed and started me on Saphris. Has anyone had any experience with this drug? So far all it's done is make my tongue numb when I take it, course only taken it a couple days.

AirMarshall Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm177401.htm Wow, Saphris is a brand new drug approved by FDA in August for Sz and Bipolar. Tongue numbness is a common side effect. (This could be a good time to enter chili pepper eating contests) LOL. a.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Keirie420 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I've been on it for a couple of weeks now and find it so much better than anything else I've ever tried. Kicks Seroquels ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netsavy006 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I'm just wanting to make you aware of the Saphris website because on their website (if not yet taken off) there is a video about their medication: http://saphris.com/ http://saphris.com/bipolar/treatment/how_to_take.aspx http://saphris.com/schizophrenia/treatment/how_to_take.aspx Hope that helps, Andy.
