Hi all, almost time to see my DOC - Sept. 10th. And talk about a reduction of my 200mg daily of Serzone. I am 34 year old Male, not overweight, and do not smoke or drink. Back in June I reduced my Serzone/Nefazodone foolishly on my own, which I do NOT reccommend - filing it down to about 180mg a day, a 20mg overall reduction over 21 days - from a 7 year steady 200mg a day. Here is what I discovered PURELY BY ACCIDENT though in doing so, and really need some serious advice and input from you all, I started to wake up with morning erections, something I have NEVER done in 7 years on the 200mg a day, I started to get more feeling down below, which I guess made me start to think about sex, and start to desire it, and my woman more, I did not need or have to work as hard to get an erection in foreplay, stimulation felt more sensitive like it should, but on 200mg area feel dull or numb, on the 180mg when I ejaculated it was harder with more sensation, and more thrusting. People I am not trying to be gross here, but I am also tired of them saying SERZONE does not cause sexual Dysfunction, cause for me it does, cause as soon as I resumed the 200mg the Morning erection was weak the next day, weaker the next and now non existent again, I virtually have no desire again, and ejaculations are weak, and somewhat retarded, with little thrusting. I know I am not imaganing this side effect, does anyone else have a Hypo Active sex drive on Serzone or these Meds ? Any Males out here either ? I have been really depressed since I upped it to the 200mg again, to get even that small taste of my sex drive back, and lose it again is depressing. I am hoping my Doc can at least SUPERVISE my reduction this time, and get me to where I have some feeling and sex drive, yet still get some effects for Depression and Anxiety, and still avoid withdrawal symptoms, wow I have discovered for 7 years I have been basically neutered. I mean I got felling but it is a weak feeling, it is like the 200mg dulls my normal sensation on my penis, again I apologize, cause I am not trying to be gross, I just feel a 34 year old man needs to have a little of all, help with depression and anxiety, and able to enjoy sex with his female partner. I mean Before Serzone I had a MAJOR Sex Drive, got depressed had none, took Serzone got it back somewhat which felt like alot compared to the Depression, but once I reduced I felt parts of the TRUE sex drive I should have, and the Serzone sex drive sucks. Someone HELP !!! I know people add Wellbutrin to Serzone, would that really help my Libido ? Advice please CHEMIST or ANYONE ! HELP
