Hello, hang in there. I suffered one MAJOR Depression in my life, I was 27 years old, am now 34 I am a male. I lost 40 lbs in 2 weeks, and laid awake virtually an entire summer, major constipation, no appetite, no concentration etc. It was a bad as it gets, it is due to my religious upbringing that squashed the suicidal feelings. Anyhow as severe as it was, only 200MG Serzone/Nefazodone a day 100x2 alleviated it, and got me back to where I needed and I have done fine, however I weaned down 10to 20 mg for last 33 days, did not feel bad, but felt dizzy in an odd way, I could tell I was experiencing something, it wasn't terribly frightning, but I said if I feel like this after 33 days, what would I feel at with 1/2 my 7 year dosing ? Scary it is for me to think about it. So I believe I will go back to the 200 mg a day, till the day they Yank Nefazodone, if they ever even do. BUT THE BIG QUESTION I WANT ASK YOU, IS HOW SEVERE WAS YOUR 1 BOUT OF DEPRESSION ? WAS IT VEGATATIVE LIKE MINE OR WHAT ?
Please let me know, I want to know where you stood with the severity of your depression, mine was so insomniated, everytime I did close my eyes, I got immedaitely startled from a Hypno Gogic vivid image, I now get 4 to 5 broken hours of sleep a night, and feel great with that. Best wishes, and Please answer my question.Sincerely - Tony C.
