> Boy it would be nice if Serzone came in an extended release version so one wouldn't have to do the b.i.d or t.i.d. dosing. Anyone know if this is in the works?
Just an interesting tidbit. Clinical studies have been done to compare b.i.d. dosing with once-a-day dosing. There was no significant difference. Serzone can be taken just once a day if desired, despite its relatively short halflife. I've also heard anecdotal reports here at this board of people who take it just once a day and do fine.
The best time to take it might be late afternoon or early evening. This way the sedation will kick in at bedtime and not carryover so much into the next day. And XR version would be cool. But even without it Serzone can be dosed just once a day if desired.
