In reply to Serzone Questions/Liver and sex, posted by contemplative1 on February 28, 2004, at 14:11:58
hmm . . i was on serzone for years and loved it, but my tolerance for other things my liver needed to process was much reduced -- even simple things like coffee. i also had flash panic attacks on it that i've never had since i stopped taking it.
honestly, there are so many other good meds out that with the hep c concern, i wouldn't take Serzone anymore. my old pdoc told me that repeatedly testing for liver enzymes didn't serve any purpose, as the liver failure problems develop quite rapidly and can probably not be predicted by panels.
i didn't have any sexual side effects on serzone. i did feel sleepy alot, and drank a lot of coffee and took naps to sort of compensate. i also had a sort of facial edema while on it, but it wasn't very noticeable.
honestly, i think it is important to feel good about what you're injesting every day. if you're gonna feel anxious every time you put that Serzone in your mouth, psychological factors alone would be a reason to try something else.
good luck. :D
