Fascinating and what a coincidence that not only were you on Serzone for almost three months, and Remeron for well over a year, so you are in an excellent position to make some comparisons based on your experience (which understandbly might or might not differ from that of others).
I'm dismayed (but not surprised) to hear that BOTH Serzone and Remeron have hang-over effects, but I'm a coffee drinker also (moderate), so that could help me too.
Coincidentally (and you already know since you read my other thread!) I AM on Zyprexa and it is great for sleep - however, I've heard that it doesn't do much, if anything for depression, although my pdoc is hoping that the Lamictal will alleviate the depression and I won't even need an a-d.
I have indeed found that on this board, there is little support for either Serzone or Remeron, but I wanted to put up a new thread for newcomers who might have feedback for me.
I am experiencing the main drawback of Zyprexa - stimulated appetite and I am reeeeeeally struggling to cope with this to avoid weight gain. I think I'm approaching the 8 week point on Zyprexa, and am happy to hear that the appetite stimulation/weight gain side effect DOES go away after this amount of time. I thought it remained for as long as one remains on Zyprexa.
Thanks for all your info.
