> Allison - I'm really pleased you've found something that appears to be working. My psychiatrist took me off serzone last summer because it just didn't seem to be doing anything for me. By the time I stopped using it, I thought I had the side effects under control. However, I felt so much better after I stopped, that I really think the drug was affecting me more than I knew. (there were huge cognitive improvements for instance). Since then, I've just stayed with the lesser amount of WB that i was on before although I did switch to the time release variety which has made compliance easier. WB as a monotherapy was always viewed as temporary, but I've been doing fairly well, perhaps because i also was able to curtail my work schedule for part of the summer. The next step apparently is to augment the WB with lamictal, an entirely different approach. I've got the scrip filled, but i'm not sure i feel bad enough to take on a new drug. It's more the anticipation of rougher winter waters than a present reality.
