In reply to Please EXPLAIN my Sleep Pattern since Depression, posted by Tony C. on July 30, 2004, at 9:20:14
> Hello all, 7 years ago before I got on Serzone/Nefazodone, I fell asleep and slept about 6 solid to 7 hours a night. Then I got PTSD, and Clinical Depression + Anxiety - My insomnia was so severe, I tell you I must of slept 5 hours in 3 months, no lie. I had REM Dream interruption sleep, about as bad as you can get, images startled me every friggin time I closed my eyes. ANYHOW Serzone, squashed that, and returned me to a normal sleep pattern somewhat. THIS IS WHAT I NEED REPLIES FOR TO EXPLAIN: Please tell me why when I go to sleep, after a LONG exhausting day, do I get tired, fall asleep normal but if I awake 1 or 2 hours later I feel like a million bucks, and I ALWAYS awake from a dream now. I mean after 1 to 2 hours I awake from a dream and feel like I never needed sleep, and that I didn't. I can get right up with no cobwebs, no stiffness, etc. Man does that amaze me, I must have PERMANENTLY altered my sleep wake cycle losing my mind 7 years ago. It just makes me wonder why I feel so reved after sleep for 1 or 2 hours after a LONG HARD day ? Of course I can relax and drift back into a light sleep, I think on a good noght now I get 4 to 5 hours of fragmented dream sleep. 8 is NOT an option for me, not even 7 - It is a miracle if U stay asleep for 3 hours before I wake, even after 7 years of Serzone/Klonopin. I mean people do you have an explanation why I feel so charged after 1 or 2 hours of sleep ? I mean I can get right up and run or walk, and NEVER feel groggy or anything. Anyone else like that ?

>As you metabolize Serzone it forms another drug called mCPP, this may be stimulating you. Personally, I would trade Serzone in for something better like Trazodone, Remeron or Sinequan.
