Saphris is awesome, it get rid of psychosis in quite a short time(1-2days). So relieved that finally this drug is available in my country. While this quite peaceful periods is such a nice thing to have after weeks of terror, I have to be realistic that this too shall pass. To be exact, there's no cure for bipolar, so the manic will come again, but I hope not too soon or I'll officially become an imbecile(prolonged stress kills your brain cells, I'm the living proof of that theory).
I just learn new medical term, which is "hemosiderin staining". Based on what I read, it either takes long time(years) to fade or a permanent situation.
"Hemosiderin is a pigment that is a byproduct of hemoglobin that has
spread into the tissues following injury with bleeding and bruising of
the tissues. It contains iron pgiment and may take along time (years)
for the body to metaoblize the iron and pigment that has spread into the
tissues."
