| 5 | bipolar, add, ocd, ptsd, | Extreme anxiousness immediately after taking it which was controlled with benadryl and has now subsided | This so far seems like a miracle drug for me. I have suffered all my life with feeling inadequate and unable to function as others do in everyday life. Now with saphris I feel able and motivated about my life it has also helped wonders with my add. I am calm yet focused truly a life changing drug.. | F | 32 | 10 days 10mg | 1/27/2015 | 5 | depression, anxiety, ocd | Sleepy after taking it, which for me is a good thing because I usually can't sleep. Will knock you out the first 1-2 times taking it. | Great sleep, wake up feeling right. Hard to describe, but more nostalgic and feel like I am open to more feelings. I've even cut my SSRI dosage in half and still feel absolutely great. It's like my mind is clear and I am able to handle things daily life throws at me. | M | 26 | 2 months 2.5 1X day | 10/18/2010 | 1 | Depression and OCD | Irritability, paranoia, disorientation, akathesia, tiredness | I guess so far I'm the only one to give this drug a terrible rating. It just didn't work well with my brain chemistry, I guess. I would forget where I was when I was taking it, I would be irritable and cry and scream, I had to take Cogentin cause the akathesia would aggravate me, and I just didn't feel any better. I do wonder if taking it twice a day like you're supposed to would have helped but I was told to only take it at night. | F | 21 | 2 weeks 10 mg 1X day | 9/27/2010 |
SAPHRIS (ASENAPINE MALEATE): This medication is used to treat certain mental/mood disorders (such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder). Asenapine helps you to think more clearly, feel less nervous, and take part in everyday life. It may also help to decrease hallucinations (hearing/seeing things that are not there) and prevent severe mood swings. Asenapine is a psychiatric medication that belongs to the class of drugs called atypical antipsychotics. It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain (neurotransmitters). (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA) FDA Approval Date: 2009-08-13
