I also started relatively slow with Serzone last year. I had 3-4 weeks of some adverse effects, tho, but those went away after this initial period.
I recently changed my dosing time. I had been taking it all (350 mg) at around 5:30 pm, because I was finding that it needed a few hours to work sufficiently to help me sleep (ie, counter the sleep problems caused by effexor), but then I was starting to have problems getting really drowsy about 30-45 minutes after taking it, and lasting about an hour. I also noticed that when I went to the gym after taking it, my balance/coordination on the treadmill was just slightly off--very slightly, but because of the action on the treadmill, it was noticeable there tho it hadn't been noticeable in any other way, even driving.
So, last week, I decided to try taking it later--- about 60-90 minutes before bedtime, and I found it works. I think that because I started exercising recently, my sleep is a bit better, so falling asleep isn't as much of an issue.
I was worried that it would leave me drowsy in the morning, when getting up (it had done so before), but I have been able to wake up fine.
