I'm going on just 5 days...the first day was the worst...maybe because I thought the reaction was not to begin for 3-4 weeks. I had MAJOR chills and a reverse reaction (I'm usually warm bodied and cold handed and I reversed to freezing cold body and hands on fire). Today was my first day of feeling "normal"... the low grade headache is history, the "high" (that felt like caffeine jitters) is gone... but I'm still toting the insomnia. (Doc gave me remeron for that but I refuse to take it...have been told its a weight gainer---and at 5'2 125 lbs, I don't need that!)
Serzone, aside from the initial scary response from my body, seems to be working well...I'm looking forward to the weeks to come.

> Hi, I'm having a lot of the same symptoms. Nausea, prickly feeling with chills (like a niacin rush), red blotches that come and go, sleeplessness, some dizziness. Any suggestions? This is my 4rd day on Serazone. Raised dose to 200mg today and will raise again in 3 days to 300mg. I'm getting really frustrated with side effects from meds. I was on Celexa for 1 month , but the side effects were so bad I had no choice but to go off and try something different.
