MidnightMarauder Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I have been taking Saphris for a long time but have never figured out how to not fall asleep quickly after taking it. I generally take it right before bed because of how tired it makes me but this is bad because then it is very hard for me to wake up for work. I experimented with taking it around 7:30-8:00pm but then I have to sleep within like 45 minutes and I don’t have to go to bed this early. Does anyone have any experience with this ? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceberg Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Geodon (weirdly) did that to me for awhile. What dose are you on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightMarauder Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 Ever since I started taking it it has caused hypersomnolence and makes me extremely tired after taking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceberg Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 could you lower the dose? Saphris comes in 2.5mgs too, could you try 7.5 if its really interfering with your schedule? some people also split the dose am/pm. However, if its been working well at that dose for 10 years I could see why that isn't a particularly appealing idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
