| 1 | Bipolar disorder | AK this is is very bad side effects from medicine. Feel like I lost it mentally. Terrible feeling, is all I have to say. Wow | Degrees different when not on xanax | F | 2 weeks | 8/10/2015 | 5 | bipola | Saphris helped me from day one I was feeling great until I started drinking alcohol with saphris. Saphris has bad side effects if used with alcohol. | Saphris is a great tablet, just don't mix it with alcohol. I found that out the hard way. | M | 49 | 6 months 5mg | 6/14/2015 | 1 | Depression,anxiety | Took first 5mg dose within 2 hours very agitated,could not relax for sleep without klonopin,next morning still jittery and dizzy | F | 65 | 1 days 5mg | 6/12/2015 | 2 | severe depression & PTSD | Acid like, very frightening, experience on 1/2 a pill (5mg) Elimination of SEVERE depression (but only for about one day) | I have never done acid but the stories sound exactly like what happened to me. Took the medicine. Had this "Acid like" experience of auditory, visual, tactile hallucinations that lasted about 10 hours. If I moved my body in the slightest way the "trip" intensified. To get to bathroom had to hold on to furniture or walls. At some point during this whole thing I cooked food (god only knows how) because I woke up with huge mixing bowl with leftover homemade mac and cheese in my bed and a trashed kitchen. To me the "trip" was frightening as h*ll. But the strangest thing happened. When I came out of this horrifying experience it was as though someone had gone inside my brain and scrubbed it. Made it sparkly new. There was no depression the next morning. Not like mania but soooo happy to have the darkness lifted for a moment (about a day). I swore I would NEVER take any more new psyc meds. However, its now many months later and the depression became unbearable again. I took 1/2 a pill 28 hours ago. Was drunk as a skunk for about 12 hours. Holding onto walls to walk. No hallucinations that i remember this time. Slowly eased into a sober state. I thought I was aware of the full experience but I just checked my blood sugar (am diabetic) & it is 250 yet I have ZERO memory of eating any food. However - yet again - brain scrub feeling. Depression LIFTED! Feel clear headed with occasional wave of drunk feeling that lasts only seconds. Feel hopeful an | F | 49 | 1 days 5mg | 6/6/2015 | 1 | Bipolar II mixed rapid cycling | Tongue, mouth numb for 18+ hours. I only took 1 dose at night around 10:30pm. 20 min after taking it I was a complete zombie, I had to be helped to bed by husband. Stumbling, tripping and talking nonsense. Woke up 5 times during night. Third time husband heard me banging into walls trying to get to bathroom. Bad bruising on shoulder from this. Finally stayed up after 5th time waking. | Dr. had given this to me for my bipolar depression. I am highly sensitive to medications like Seroquel and I took 12.5mg at night for sleep. I also suffered very adverse reactions to Depakote and I feel that this medication produced very similar effects. When I got up for the 5th time and stayed up my body felt jittery, my eyes were burning, red and my eyeballs felt like they were "jiggling" on their own, I was desperately thirsty and starving but nauseous. Like I said before, my mouth stayed numb for about 18+ hours. I will never take this medication again. I am currently on lamictal, lithium, campral, spiriva, symbacort, nasonex, ProAir and albuterol p.r.n. | F | 52 | 1 days 5mg 2X day | 5/21/2015 | 5 | Schizoaffective/Bipolar | *NEGATIVE= big pupils, headache,sometimes too hyper---not a good idea to combine mountain dew/caffeine with it...may cause insomnia..but then again it helped me sleep.. *POSITIVE= calmer, clear thinking, less scared, more sleep, less anxiety, stable more, less appetite/weight loss, more energy/motivation, creative-more goals... | So many more positive effects of saphris!
