Hi Tony C,
I've never taken Serzone, but have taken just about everything else. I've been on meds continuously, that's nonstop, for about 18 years, and have no intention of ever stopping. Man I wish I could, but I just can't. Every time I have tried I have ended up in the hospital. And whether it was due to my just THINKING that I couldn't make it without the meds, or that my brain just COULDN'T make it without the drugs, doesn't even matter anymore. You know, my father has been taking high doses of all kinds of heart medicines since he was 35 years old, and not once has he considered stopping them, because if he did, HE WOULD DIE. Well, same here! And, all these years, some of those meds he's taken have taken a toll on other parts of his body - he's 67 years old now, but, well, he takes something else for those problems. I guess I'll just have to live with the consequences of all the meds I've taken too, but in the interim, I'm staying alive, and able to raise my kids.
So...I hope you'll continue to trust yourself and what your body needs to take care of itself. Have your labs done, and take necessary precautions to keep yourself functioning.
Good luck to you,
Sooshi
