Music Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 My pdoc when I was IP told me to take my Saphris once at night, but when I filled my prescription at the pharmacy they told me I should be taking it twice a day. I'm going to just keep doing what the pdoc said until my next pdoc appointment but I was curious about when everyone else took their Saphris? I'm not sure I could take it twice a day, it kind of knocks me out when I take it at night so I can't imagine having to take it in the morning when I'm trying to wake up.

dtac Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I had to take it at night right before bedtime because it would completely knock me out. I tried the 2x daily dosing and couldn't stay awake during the day. I only gave the stuff 3 weeks before I quit it, and the sedation never got any better.

lanry78 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) I take 15 mg nightly with 1 mg of Klonopin - knocks me out pretty quickly. Saphris is a miracle drug. But if I took it during the day I wouldnt handle it well ... Edited March 12, 2014 by lanry78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgetmenot220 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I take 5 mg at night, right as I'm getting into bed. It doesn't knock me out like it did at first but if I were to up it all, I would continue taking it at night, I don't think I could handle it during the day. I know it helps me sleep a little, just not like it used to do immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
