Scott...we unfortunately don't have nefazodone/Serzone available to us here in Canada...even the generic.
:( Serzone with Effexor *was* helping me, then Serzone got pulled. We tried Desryl(sp?), a similar drug as you know, but completely *no* response, even at many different doses timed all out during the day. Does Remeron have enough 5HT2a receptor blocking that it might be a good combo...or does it have too much..or..? I am on 3mg a day of Risperdal, for my rapid cycling, which (knock on wood) does help somewhat. I take 80mg of Prozac a day, 100mg of Nortiptyline, 4mg clonazepam, 200mg of Topomax (which, contrary to any other reports...does nothing for weight gain..and I've taken up to 400mg..)) and 5mg Zyprexa. Ya, it's a lot, but I am pretty big guy. This has enabled me to get out in the world when my dread was at it's worse....and, man, I never want that back in my life ever again. But, I seem to have some *fine tuning* issues with sleep and still (beyond ordinary) daily spikes of anxiety and depression that counselling isn't reaching.Thanks..
