> I've been on serzone about a year at 100 to 250mg/day depending on situational upsets. I am much clearer mentally that I was on nortriptyline which I took for about 2 years before. I also take lithium because of a manic episode at age 45 while taking Elavil.

> Serzone has mild sexual side effects, but it gives me insomnia with 3 am awakening. Falling asleep itself is not a problem. I've tried splitting it different ways AAM/PM; seems to be worse when I take it a night. Anyone had this problem, and if so, any success besides with simple hypnotics, in improving sleep?

> RileyMy doc told me serzone needs to be taken twice a day...morning then evening to work properly. I may have not understood some of the other posters, but thought that several others were just taking the serzone dose once a day. If so, maybe that could affect the benefits it may offer. Just a thought....vroom
