| Add Saphris review This drug has given me some bad side effects, I'm gassy, bloated and I have Type 1 Diabetes and Saphris seems to be raising my blood sugars, I've been on in for almost a month and my blood sugars can't get below 300, and I have to take very large doses of insulin as well, not to mention it's making me eat and eat.

Now I can't seem to lose the weight. helped me feel better, but weight gain++ and have developed type 2 diabeties. For me, this med was a disaster. It was prescribed for me initially by a pill pushing shrink who made a snap judgement that I was bipolar II after my wife filed for divorce and I asked for help. I had been on and off anti-depressants for years, usually after failed relationships. It made things worse, not better, and I ended up in and out of the psych ward six times over the next three years, a ... | |||
