Hey, Scott--thanks for thinking of me.
Yes, I heard it on the news--was it last week? I was really pissed off when I heard it, of course. First words that came to mind were something along the lines of "those wimpy b*****ds!".
Of course, this happened like the day or two or three after my appointment with my pdoc, so we did not discuss it. Not that it was a total surprise, of course, as there had been rumors to this effect for a while. But I wasn't expecting it right now.
I will have to try the generic nefazadone and see what happens. Otherwise there really IS no substitute for Serzone--it is quite different from just about everything, except its closest relative, Trazadone, which is rather a sloppy and less effective medicine.
I wonder if liver reactions have to be closely monitored again when starting on the generic nefazadone.
In the meantime, once I realized I'm not up for refill for a few weeks, I forgot about it. But I'll have to contact my pdoc to ask him all this.
