sigi, I don't understand the Saphris. It worked for about a month. I slept with normal glitches and felt better until I began to feel too good. Then I finally had to call the doc and beg for elephant darts. Anything to slow me down because nothing in my prescriptive bounds could make a dent. So the Saphris was increased. When I slowed down it was like I was in molasses. After the Saphris was dropped back down, it didn't feel the same. I was heavily sedated on the same initial dose. So the doc says Latuda causes less sedation which is true. But I still feel leaden and maybe less sedated enough to despair. I don't know.
I have had success with risperidone at a tiny dose. But it did not prevent a depression from starting which is why Saphris was introduced to begin with. I don't know why the doc is
wanting to go so high this time. He never has before.Fibromyalgia and BP are not mutually exclusive unfortunately. I was dx'd cyclothymic years ago, but the depressions have gotten more rigorous as have the highs and lows. I am trying the aap class because I haven't as I have been afraid of it. It may not suit me.
