Hi:
Thanks for a good information/knowledge regarding the 'older' version of meds. similar to the Serzone.At first, I thought the Trazodone was a terrific 'replacement' of the Serzone. However, I can NOT take more than 100 mg. Traz. because of the drowsiness/sedation I feel during the morning hours, ... until noon-time. Then, I started thinking about 150 mg. Serzone during the day because I still feel depressive feelings on which I suspect 'low' dosage of the Traz. I was on *450 Mg.* Serzone most of the time for the past three years.
Besides this fact, since the depressive side of my Bp is a type of 'major depression,' then my system seems looking for the Serzone. I know I can NOT take the 450 mg. Serzone due to the intense thirst during the sleep, however I strongly feel my system is able to handle this min. '150 mg.' Serzone combined with the 100 mg. Trazodone.
About a week ago, my pdoc. originally rxed *300 mg* Trazodone before the bed-time, ... however on this 'massive' dosage of the Traz., I must admit to never wake up, ... just sleep through all day long. Anyhow, I'm trying to manage my moods by taking Traz. 100 mg. before sleep, but I certainly feel a need of the Serzone very urgently and badly.
Also, the reason I felt 'GOOD' during the first three days after on 100 mg. Trazodone was because of residual efficacy of the Serzone in my system. Now, it must have all GONE, ... NO Serzone at all.If there is/are any more information regarding this, 'Serzone/Trazodone,' I would be very grateful.
