I give up all, I have shaved my dose down 20mg in last 27 days. I will NOT be reducing it anymore, physically I am fine, and I didn't do bad mentally either, HOWEVER I can't take the little changes I notice, like being a little more depressed, not for long but I can tell a slight difference, and that DEMON in my head has resurfaced somewhat and keeps telling me "WHAT IF" what if I spiral down at somepoint from reducing, and that is a TREMENDOUS fear I have. I totally got the raw deal, I found a medicine that worked for me like a charm 7 years ago ... SERZONE and then people ruined it, made it out to be worse than it is, and also they pressure to get rid of the EQUALLY EFFECTIVE Generic Version. I mean you talk about the cruelest prank, that is it. I was at Deaths door via suicide, and NOTHING helped except the Serzone, then it becomes a controversial medicine. I will get thru this crisis, I will resume my regular therapeautic dose of NEFAZODONE for as long as I possibly can, I hope the rest of my life. I must accept that my sex life is not the same and NEVER will be, but that is ok, but having that depressing anxiety demon n my head resurface is not an option, I will trade a POWERFUL ejaculation for being calm and not depressed, and keeping that depressing demon from resurfacing. People I need your support more than ever, I need good sound encouargement and assurance that even if they pull the Generic Serzone called NEFAZODONE, that I will survive, and there will be something else (I hope) to ease off the Nefazodone, and keep that Depression/Anxiety Demon in my head locked up where it belongs. Even tho I feel fine, I can just tell something was/is trying to resurface slowly. PEOPLE on Serzone/Nefazodone PLEASE keep petitioning the FDA and Generic companies to always make sure a long term user as myself has the right to stay on the medicine that helped me most. I mean I do not want to have this medicine ripped from me, then put me in a POSSIBLE suicidal state.
Sincerely - SAD Tony C. ; (
