Serzone didn't do me much good either. I guess for some it is effective but mostly it seemed to make me tired. Given the severity of his problems and the sudden onset I am a little surprised he would be started on this.
Tell him to ask for something different. Many folks go through a number of AD's before finding the right one and right dose. Best of luck to you both - the finance issue can be a real killer. Even if responding to an AD this sort of thing can bring you down.

> faimly. In June he started with not being able to sleep because of a financial problem that we have and went from that to depression by September. At that point he went on serzone and was hospitalized for about 4 days. At that point the doctor said he really didn't need to be there, just continue to take the serzone (200mg twice a day). He has been off work since 9/13/02 and this is a man that never missed any time at work plus always worked on the side. It has been over eight weeks on the serzone and was showing some improvement until last week and seems to be now losing progress. He wants to go back to work and get back to a normal life style in the worst way but cannot handle any pressure. All I want to know is, should this medicine be taking this long to work, or is there anything else that we can be doing to help him get his life back to normal.
