In reply to Is Serzone still available in the U.S.?, posted by Sarah T. on February 23, 2005, at 23:04:13
Sarah,
Serzone was withdrawn overseas but the company withdrew it themselves here in the US because of the liver injury in some people. Sales plummeted so I guess they figured to just withdraw it. You can try trazadone which might be similar. As a guy I wouldn't try it because it can cause priapism in some men (erection that doesn't go away), and this can be very dangerous. But a woman would not get this obviously, so it's safe for you.
SadDoggie> Sometime in the past year, I remember hearing that Serzone might cause liver damage. I thought that it was going to be withdrawn from the market, and I think it actually was withdrawn overseas and possibly in Canada. Is it still available in the U.S.? Does anyone here take it? If so, have you also taken Trazadone? How does Serzone compare with Trazadone? Does anyone know what it was about Serzone that caused the liver problems?
