Katia,
here's my attempt at answring your questions:
>Was the one you were on Effexor?no, it was luvox.
>Are you still on Serzone?
no, i'm on zoloft, but i am going to a pdoc to try something else -- maybe serzone again.
>Did it cause you to be a zombie? (I was a zombie on Zoloft).
No, it did not make me a zombie. i felt normal, quite social, able to feel emotions, just not with the anxiety/ocd symptoms that plague me.
>Did you sleep a lot on Serzone? Did you gain weight? How long were you on it?
It made me feel a little tired during the day, and I slept easily. I did gain weight, but I have a slow thyroid so I can't tell if it caused weight gain or not -- if it did, it caused less than zoloft has as a side effect. I took it for 2 separate 2-year periods.
>And what do you mean, that Serzone works really well for the people who can take it? What was the w/drawal like? Any electrical jolts?Some people feel manic on Serzone, so they can't take it. I've heard this complaint from a few people. I think it's all about your own brains and what they need.
Withdrawal was tough, with a few panic attacks. It would have been easier if I had known what was going on. Electrical jolts, maybe a few after withdrawal, but not while I was on it.
Make sense?
