> > Gosh.. by 8pm, my daughter was so irritable. She announced that she was NOT going to take that nasty medicine. She went on her typical hypo-manic pressured talking jag.. would not stop complaining about the taste and she found close to one million different ways to describe how awful it tastes.. "like cat poo that's been eaten and thrown up." Then she complained about the 'stupid' scientists who couldn't figure out how to make something not taste so bad. This went on for 45 minutes! I told her that her only other anti-psychotic options are those that cause weight gain, so she'd have to choose between a 30 min nasty taste every evening, or gaining weight. She was so angry. She stormed off to take a shower, but when she came back down she was a different person. The pressured random fast-talking was still going on, but she was silly - happy - giggling - had the kitten in her lap while she sang 'Thriller' and had the kitten 'dancing' to it. Real excitable and non-stop talking. *whew* it's exhausting.

> > I researched some things.. reading patient reviews.. and a lot of them said that initially they felt the brain-fog, but that it went away after a week or so. A lot of them also said they split their dose in half for several days before going back up to their prescribed dose. A good number of them were only prescribed 5mg.. and my daughter's is 10mg. So in order to hopefully minimize the brain-fog issue for her tomorrow at school, I split her dose so she took 5mg instead of 10. Maybe Friday night we'll go back to 10 and see if by the time school starts again Monday, maybe she'll feel clear headed.

>okay... Lou... I think you understand from the context of my post that I am inviting information from those who have taken or are taking Saphris that would assist me in addressing how my daughter is experiencing Saphris. Any attempts on your part to use this thread as yet another soapbox to warn about the evils of this, or any other, medication/s is inappropriate and not welcome. However, feel free to transfer my post and anything you have to say about Saphris to your "Lou's Little Shoppe" thread.
What you are doing feels exploitive. Please stop.
