I think there was a warning issued by the FDA that some people got liver failure from using Serzone. That's a real bummer because I found Serzone to be the easiest of all the serotonin meds to tolorate (plis no anorgasmia!! yea!!)

I tried Zyprexa years ago. I couldn't handle the sedation. Anything that interferes with the H-1 receptors seems to really disagree with my system.
I can't even take OTC antihistamines.

Buspar is a thought. However, I've heard rumors that it might actually lower dopamine levels to some degree which would not be good for the Restless Leg Syndrome.

Hmmm These are all good thoughts. I hope my pdoc has an answer.
