Saphris does work fairly immediately and some studies show it has some good antidepressant qualities. My assumption is your relative's provider is awash in samples right now and should be able to keep him supplied. Personally, I preferred the sublingual delivery system, and Saphris regulated my sleep/wake cycle beautifully. It could be something he could take while persuaded to try lithium if that is a family and doctor consensus. Has anyone the opportunity to accompany him on an office visit as an advocate? Best of luck.
