Re: My experience with Serzone

When I was on Serzone, I usually took the whole daily dose an hour or so before bedtime. Not what the package insert says to do, but it worked for me. It's actually absorbed better in a single large dose, and most of the Serzone clears out of your system in 8-12 hrs.

The daytime drowsiness *eventually* went away somewhat - took months - but Serzone eventually stopped working for me as an antidepressant too (we're talking 6-7 years here).

I took Serzone primarily because I had sleep problems + depression - if you don't suffer from insomnia, it may not be the right AD for you at all.

> My pdoc dislikes Serzone - says it is extremely sedating for most people; makes you like a zombie, makes you zone out, drowsy, can't do anything, don't feel like doing anything, and it isn't even *that* effective for depression. This, of course, is just one pdoc's professional opinion.
