I have been taking Serzone for about 6 weeks while decreasing Zoloft. It has been hard to tease out what reactions are from what med. But as I am on my last day of 6 mgs of Zoloft, I think it is safe to say that Serzone definitely has an effect on my body temp. regulation.
I thought the flushing and hot flashes where from withdrawal, but as time goes on, I see that it must be from the Serzone. I guess I find the hot flashes more tolerable than the terrible sweating then chills from the Zoloft.
I really like the Serzone over SSRI's. I do not miss the racing feeling all the time and the feeling negative, irratible and anxious. Oh and how I love to be able to sleep and desire sex again. I just feel alot more relaxed with Serzone.
With any med there are trade off. The mild headache, hot flashes and low energy I could do without, but I am hoping that they will mellow with time. BTW, going up on the dosage slow is very good advise!
Those are my experiences so far...
Good luck to everyone
