My psydoc just added Saphris 5mg x 2/day to my Parnate 60mg/day, Cytomel 50mcg, and Xanax 4mg/day. Additionally, I have a VNS stimulator.
Diagnosis is bipolar disorder and severe OCD. After a period of a couple months of a lighter mood at the end of summer, I have regressed into a long-term depression marked by severe and unremitting interfering thoughts.
While I am usually exhausted, I cannot sleep even with Lunesta or Ambien. My doctor added Zyprexa for mood control and because it was supposed to help with sleep, but it leaves me too foggy in the morning to function at work.
Now, we're trying Saphris. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this med, particularly regarding any side effects.
Thanks.
