Is Intake Of Saphris Safe For Anxiety?
I recently was put on Saphris and was experiencing severe anxiety. Before my doctor would give me anything for the anxiety he gave me a drug test that I failed for Benzo........ Saphris was the only thing that I had taken, is there something in it that would fail for benzo?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Saphris contains asenapine and it is a atypical antipsychotic. It has very less effect on anxiety disorder. You can try some another medicine like gabapentin that would help to control anxiety symptoms. You can try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
