Yes they do go away. I have started off with 100 mg to begin with (i've kept on coming back to serzone) & for the first 3 days I feel totally stoned & manic. But after that there's minimal depression. Tried wellbutrin, doesn't do a damn thing. Other ADs have sexual side effects. The only other thing that looks promising is remeron. Never tried that.
But stay with the serzone.
SSRI's only increase serotonin which can blunt emotion and cognitive ability. But serzone increases noradrenaline also. It is a SNRI. It has an energizing effect (initially it is both sedating but energizing).
You're not bipolar so it won't make you manic like me but intoxicating at first? Definately. Effective without being intoxicating later? Definately.
