"I was prescribed a new medication"
The name is Saphris 5mg (sublingual tablets), they are new and used to treat Bipolars. I had the first one this morning, it tastes like, I don't want to say the word. But as long as it works, I don't mind how bad it tastes. She also prescribed 2 Xanax to sleep at night, and she said if they don't work, I can also take Restoril. I am very happy cause I thought I was gonna end up in the hospital(I hope not ). I slept much better last night and the new pill, also makes me sleepy. I have to take it twice a day. Right now I'm very tired cause I went out all morning to run some errands. Plus the medication makes me feel this way, I guess. I am going to bed right now, I don't feel so well. Good Bye!

Sorry your new meds are making you so sleepy but I know that can be one of the side effects. Hope you feeling sleepy passes soon and that you begin to feel better.
Thank you for caring, I know you do. This med that I\'m taking is really strong, and I\'m supposed to take more after 7 days. I don\'t know how I\'m going to do that, cause I need to function properly. Love always, Ivonne.
I\'m going to have to check out the Saphris. I\'m on my wits\' end right now, feeling quite hopeless and I\'ve tried so many different things that I don\'t know where to turn next except the hospital. I\'m calling my doc tomorrow to beg him for an immediate appointment. I can\'t go on like this. I am glad you are feeling better, at least you\'re sleeping... I\'m not even doing that well. XOXO
