In reply to Daughter's Saphris Complaint, posted by Solstice on February 22, 2012, at 17:56:25
My doctor said placing the wafer between the cheek and the gum was also effective. I found that to be true in my case and that it lessened salivation. The underside of my tongue would become tender from the Saphris, and I found having more rotation sites optimal. I agree with Ed about not sweating the swallowing issue too much. I would avoid excessive swallowing for ten minutes while the Saphris dissolved. Part of this was finding optimal positions to rest my head (I was reclining in bed) and places in my mouth that would cut down on the saliva pooling to the point of discomfort. I also believe as a layman that if some saliva is swallowed and the back of the throat is numbed, that numbing suggests that some medicine is being absorbed in the clean, relatively dry vascular membranes of the throat.
I hope your sweetie is doing well.
