Bipolar Disorde
"I&#039;ve been on Seroquel for 6 yrs and have had nightmares the whole time.  I switched to Saphris 4 days ago, 5 mg morning and night plus 112.5 mg Effexor.  I&#039;m amazed at waking up early in the morning after 8 hrs sleep on Saphris where I&#039;ve been sleeping 12 hrs a night previously on Seroquel then still a zombie for the next 3 hrs. 

The morning dose sedated me so I&#039;m changing to 10mg at night and also adding lamotrigine this week.  I haven&#039;t felt this good in many years, but I&#039;m not elevated 



I have BP 1 and live in Australia.  As I&#039;m on disability, all of my medications only cost $6.20 each as its subsidised by the govt. I feel very sad for everyone in the USA with chronic illnesses.  It&#039;s just not fair."
