> The first few days of my taking Saphris produced a great deal of somnolence. This effect is abating, though. I am experiencing a subtle, but recognizable improvement in depression. We'll have to see if it persists beyond three weeks. It usually doesn't persist beyond three days.
I am on my fifth day of taking Saphris. I raised the dosage to 10 mg/day (5 mg b.i.d.) yesterday. I have lost most of the antidepressant effect that appeared a few days ago while taking 5 mg/day. I am still expecting Saphris to make me feel worse in a way similar to Latuda, Remeron, and idazoxan. I suspect that NE alpha-2a receptor antagonism is responsible for this.
