I realize the underlying issue is depression/coping. Today I saw a NP
and was prescribed Saphris 5mg SL every night
and started on
Lamictal with a tapering increase in dose over the next month. Im not comfortable with the Saphris though,,,its an "atypical antipsychotic" and used for people with Bipolar I disorder and schizophrenia????? Any suggestions,,I am trying to listen to the psych people as they know best,,so I will take as prescibed for now.
