I am currently trying to come off Serzone - I have been on it for 10 years and last Friday was my first night off of it. I was on 75 mg and my doc told me that was a low dose, so I could stop from there and start Lexapro 10 mg. I have not felt good since. I have had horrible nights including waking up in the middle of the night with hotflashes, unusual sensations to the body and feeling "out of it", not to mention my anxiety is back and I have NO appetite. I called the doc and she acted like I was overreacting. I have stopped the Lexapro and am supposed to start Effexor 37.5 mg for one week. I do not know anything about this drug. I am feeling physically better each day (except I cannot stay asleep), but scared that the depression is going to kick back in at full force or the Effexor will not work, or make me feel worse.
