hello,
Saphris is a conventional antipsychotic.
it's side effects can be like, rigidity, tremors, slowing of body movements,etc.
As I can understand that, your problem is difficullty in maintaining sleep.
Here, having information regarding your current prescribed medication is essential for advisement of any drug to you.
I would suggest your treating psychiatrist, to think of long acting benzodiazepine dose at night.
welcome you further queries.
Regards,
Dr Pankaj Borade
