I have been on Saphris a little over a week. It is working well for me, it helps me sleep and stablizes my mania. Has anyone had any problems getting dehydrated quickly when exercising?
Knowing this for 20 years, I'm always have a 1 litre Water bowl with me, LOL almost a trade mark! I find when I wash and fill, I drink 5-8 litres of water a day. A big trick for me, is large gulps instead of sips. It flushed the meds out daily too, helping not to have toxic build up that is possible when you don't drink enough.....
Drink my friend! I like the Smart Water bottles - not to small (two swallows), not too large (heavy)
I find thirst to a a easy side effect to remedy - and maybe my water consumption is my only good habit, competing with the coffee and cigarettes LOL
