Tell your Doctor: Talk to your Doctor ASAP. Tell her about your thoughts. If your thoughts are getting stronger or you feel you could act on them, go to the ER, there they will be able to help you. In the meantime if you have someone you trust tell them about it. If not you can call a hotline or even 911. If Saphris (asenapine) cannot be increase, other antipsychotics can help you. Never give in!

Agree w Dr Toro: If your bad thoughts are about hurting yourself or others you may need urgent care. If you are having thoughts of harm to self/others get seen at the nearest emergency room now. Have a friend or relative drive you or call 911 for emergency services for transport. You can call the National suicide hotlines 24/7 at 1-800-suicide (1-800-784-2433) or 1-800-273 – talk (1-800-273-8255) for support.>
