In reply to Re: Has anyone switched from Zoloft to Serzone?, posted by Bookgurl99 on June 15, 2002, at 1:10:13
Interesting I found this thread. Because Zoloft is not working for me. I've been a zombie staring at walls for the past two and half months. (on Zoloft). This is my first round of ADs in my 32 yrs. of life. The first was also an SSRI, Celexa. It didn't work for me, then Effexor which worked and I finally got a feeling of normalcy, but those electric shock things became a daily side effect, so I transitioned onto Zoloft for the past three months actually and I can not take anymore. I seem to be more of a zombie than when I am depressed. or am I simply depressed and the Zoloft has zero effect?
Anyway, since the Effexor seemed to work for a month or so, I figured maybe Serzone??? I'm new to this AD experience and I'm already exhausted and feeling hopeless. Been trying them since July 02. Life is bloody hard...anyone have any updated or related experience with Serzone or Remeron? I am a terrible sleeper, but on Effexor and Zoloft all i do is sleep. I'd like a middle ground. Wellbutrin may be too stimulating for a troubled sleeper? I don't have a good pdoc so I'm doing all the research on my own really and then making suggestions to an overworked pdoc in an non-profit clinic and he normally just agrees with me and prescribes, this confused dazed depressed person! I feel sooooo stupid (yes stupid, no better word) on Zoloft!!!! I can't form sentences and am terribly confused. Thank god I realize this in my confused state!!! Also my insurance has run out and won't cover ADs anymore. Life in America is soooo jolly and supportive!
Any suggestions on Remeron or Serzone?
thanks soo much
