Hi All,
I've been on Serzone for several months now & I find it very effective for me. There's always a trade-off (until they build the perfect med) and for me, the choices were easy to make. When I first went on medication, I had several requirements: I didn't want my libido to be affected; I didnt want to gain tons of weight; I didn't want anything that would remain in my body for weeks after taking a single dose (as I have a very sensitive system).
I've tried paxil & wellbutrin - both had intolerable side effects (paxil=anorgasmia; wellbutrin=horrible stomach aches & forgetfulness).
So far, Serzone has been the only med I've found that helps stabilize me, with managable side-effects (and meets all my requirements). I've been very happy with the theraputic effects of Serzone - though it's taken time (a long slow taper up) and dilligence (to find the right dose).
I have to agree about the sleepiness/sedation being a difficult side-effect to handle. However for me, I wouldn't trade the serzone side-effects for another drugs' potential benefits.-Sunny (a Serzone Fan)
> Serzone was the first drug I tried because it was supposed to not effects yor sex life.....guess waht I had anorgasmia on serzone just like prozac. Plus I felt sick on it....I hope it works for you not everyone has a bad reaction to it....like Cam says you gotta try it to see.
