> Yup, I also had both the anxiety/rage/emotionality as well as the sedation/balance problems/spaciness. But they went away after a few weeks. I take 150 mg in the evening, to augment effexor. GOod luck, and Dee's advice is good. Keep us posted.
I didn't have too difficult a time getting on serzone -
I felt a little sick to my stomach. My dreams
did get vivid, which I like. The side effects do pass.
If they don't after 3-4 weeks, then I'd consider something
else (this is my unqualified self talking - I'm no doctor).
Also, I've given up on other drugs before after 1 or 2 weeks
because the side effects were too much for me. (Wellbutrin,
Prozac--which other people tolerate perfectly well).
You have to decide what you can tolerate.A friend of mine tried serzone and felt so sick, she
stopped after a week or two. It really is an individual
thing (I know this doesn't help much.)One thing that helped with getting on serzone (for me) was
eating regular meals. Do not take the stuff on an empty stomach.Diane
