In reply to Remeron v. Serzone: which less hangover effect?, posted by Janelle on August 15, 2001, at 17:12:31
I took Remeron for more than 2 years. I found the highest dose I took (45mg) was most sedating. In fact, I usually was careful to be at home when I took it before bedtime. I did have weight gain. I took it with lithium and then with Wellbutrin.
For four or months now I have been taking Serzone (150m tid) with Wellbutrin (150mg tid). I have found that there also is a fog with the Serzone, but where the Remeron fog cleared with a cup of coffee, the Serzone hangover is stickier and takes longer to pass. My sleep is not as sound on Serzone, but I have not experienced weight gain either.
Good luck.
I'm not taking Serzone > I may go on a sedating a-d after getting off EffexorXR, and the two main ones seem to be Remeron (which concerns me because I've read on here of both hang-over/drowsiness the following morning after taking it and potential weight gain) and Serzone. If anyone has tried these, which one gives LESS of the hang-over/drowsy in the morning effect? Thanks for any info.
