In reply to Serzone, does it help with nervousness/anxiety?, posted by lrc on October 16, 2001, at 8:08:42
> Is it only used for depression? Is it an SSRI? Thanks
Besides addictive benzodiazepines,
nothing beat Serzone on the anxiety department.
But it did make me exceptionally groggy and
unable to react quickly. My reflexes were so
bad I felt unsafe driving my car. But damn
did I sleep good. The 2 months I was on Serzone
is a total blur however. I could tell my pdoc
exactly every med I took and at what dose, but
we he asks me about Serzone, I say "I can't
remember a darn thing". For some people it is
effective. I wouldn't rule it out if you have
tried the standards SSRI's (Paxil,Celexa,Zoloft).
without any luck. Statistically Serzone is
not as good an anti-depressant. But sometimes
it helps as an adjunct.I believe some people find Provigil is good
for the groggyness (someone correct me if I
am wrong).-john
