In reply to Re: Serzone- Is anyone taking it?, posted by waterlily on October 16, 2002, at 20:08:15
I tried Serzone once and it made me hypomanic within a day or two. Felt really great though and it lasted for about 3 weeks. I told this to my new pdoc and he says it might be a good idea to try it again now that I'm on a mood stabilizer (Lamictal) . I am kind of weary about the liver problem though this time, that info. wasnt available back then. I have a distinct problem (good or bad, I dunno) with 5HT2 antagonists like Serzone. I also tried Zyprexa once and it made me super hypomanic, and its supposed to quell mania!, worse than the Serzone. But again, it felt kind of good in comparison to how I normally feel. Maybe I can try that again too with the mood stabalizer, but my new doc has told me he is very suspicious about the antipsychotics being used for depression.. anyway, good luck with the Serzone, if it works well, its great because it really does feel like you're taking nothing, except maybe alittle drowsiness for me..
