I want to discontinue Serzone. What can I expect when I stop? Anyone going through this?

Go off it as slowly as possible. I was on 600mg and after 3 weeks I was at 100mg. Then I went through 2 terrible days of anxiety, spaced out and couldn't do anything but wacth tv. I am on serzone again (I like sex) and will take a minimum of 2 to 3 months to taper off this time.

Did serzone help you? I used to take it as it didnt present the sexual hassles that Prozac of Zoloft did. However it didnt help the depression. It jsut made me tired. It was strange, every morning about 10.30am I would suddenly get extremely tired and could hardly keep my eyes open - this feeling would last until midday.
I am quitting all AD's - and began my third attempt last week. A slow 13 week program,

A slow 13 week program,AW, Serzone helped me...it took some getting used to (first two weeks, had mood swings and a lot of dizziness and fatigue), but after four weeks, I felt really good. Had to switch to Effexor-XR because Serzone didn't help the OCD (but I slept much better and felt much better on Serzone). --Cindy W
