Yes, that's what happened and it was a total surprise...very welcome one. I was on as much as 400mg briefly, but mostly on 300mg for four years and then over a year and a half's time decreased to the point where I was on the final 25mg, which I remained on for another 9 months until the recall and I am now, one month after making the decision, Serzone-free for the first time in almost 6 years. The final 100mg were extremely hard; the last 25mg were next to impossible, it took three attempts. I am very sensitive to dosages and normally take a sub-therapeutic dose for the same effect most people get from higher doses. I am not one who can take SSRI's and so Serzone had just the right combo for me, but I think it is the Seratonin effect which caused the lack of desire and response. Also, it is important to know that by the end, Serzone was an adjunct to my main regimen. Good luck, TonyC....it is worth it and can be done. I now have a stockpile and am so relieved that I do not need it! I will emphasize, however, the need for pharmaceutical support and a good Pdoc while you are eliminating Serzone.
