In reply to A question on Serzone, posted by Elizashae on June 20, 2001, at 17:34:37
I am tapering off Serzone right now. I took it for social anxiety and mild depression. I am tapering off it because it did not really work for the social anxiety. But while tapering up, I noticed that at around 300 mg/day or so, it induced a strong depression which got worse and stayed pretty bad until around Day 50 of the treatment, which was when I tapered up to 550 mg/day, at which point the depression lifted. I don't know if it was the length of time on the drug, or the high dosage, that eventually got rid of the depression. But I have read a number of comments here about Serzone making a depression worse before it got better.
