i am still on serzone, but instead of 300 i am taking 150 mg. i still havent been able to get a hold of my psychiatrist,
so i just quit taking it for 3 days, then cut the dose in half.
i am still on it, but with much less dizziness. i am grateful for the input i have received from the posters on this board.
i have also tried the self med caffeine, in the form of triple mochas with whipped cream. fortuneately i can blame the weight gain on the meds, haha.
i go to work on thurs morn for the first time in eight months. i am a police dispatcher. wish me luck.

byw, i finally got an appt with the doc on tues. i will be having a serious complaint about the lack of followup on the part of his office. i had called them and said i was haviong serious sideaffects, extreme dizziness and
unable to drive or walk very well. no phone calls, no pager numbers available, etc.
good thing i was with my husband and brother, who were able to help me out. crisis over, but i dont like to feel alone when i am having trouble with my meds.
good thing i worked on my assertiveness much earlier in my therapy!
