In reply to what med would have a similar effect to serzone?, posted by sageblue on July 24, 2004, at 21:48:57
Hi:
In my case, a sister AD to Serzone, 'Trazodone' is 'WONDER' on me. However, your symptoms are quite complexed, saying 'migraine' on top of depression. Then, seriously, I have NO good clue in regard to a good replacement of Serzone.The reason why I got off of Serzone was because it seemed 'toxicity' I started to develpe due to the long-term use along with relatively 'high' dosage of Serzone. On my last appt. with my pdoc., I complained about a massive liquid intake during the nights that interfered my sleep-pattern tremendouly. After a 'baby dosage'/beginner-dosage of Trazodone, I started to sleep VERY soundly with just once to the bathroom which is nothing unusal for me before my Bp. Also, I started experiencing MORE alert during the day without sedating effect that caused by 'mass' dose of Serzone, mostly 450 mg.
However, Serzone DID help me so much until this, tremendous thirst developed that I credited to the use of Serzone for the past three years.
For me, the Serzone did 'WONDER' on both AD and Anxiety. As to concentration, I've been on WB sr 200 mg. that helps, but not 100%. But, having Bp, I can live with this degree of concentration problem brought up by Bp.
