Well people after 33 days I am down to 185mg a day of Serzone/Nefazodone I took 200 mg a day religiously for 7 years. I must confess I don't feel bad, I do have a little improvement in sexual desire which is ALOT considering I had to force myself to think sex before, I do think my libido is in there waiting to break out again, and am 100% CONVINCED the 200mg numbs it, but I must go lower and slower after 7 long years I will try to use my sex drive I want back as an incentive to keep going on the reduction process. I will tell you I have been pretty steady and accurate with the filing on the afternoon dose. HOWEVER I must declare I do feel some akward sensations though, headache wich is mild that comes and goes, slight lightheadedness thankfully short episodes today I felt a slight Panic Attack trying to convince me in the tub that "I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT THIS DRUG, I WILL GO INSANE" That was brief also, and I felt like I was shaking inside in my arms and legs for about 10 minutes, yet I was not shaking at all, it was a NEW Odd feeling it passed though. I will NOT go lower than 185 till I feel NO SYMPTOMS at 185mg before I move down lower. I mean truthfully when I hear people cut down rather fast in 50mg to 75mg increments I am quite stunned they felt fine, I mean that would just about do me in I am convinced, I mean Serzone/Nefazodone is a SON OF A BITCH trying to come down from for me, this is longest I have ever made it, and the lowest. I did have a day where I took the regular dose 200mg but actually got a worse headache, so I think after 33 days my brain is trying to adapt to a lower dosage. People this is an amazing accomplishment for a 7 year veteran as myself to even get this far, I mean I can honestly say there is a sexual desire within me, it is fleeting but I know the small reduction has taken some of the numbing away in my desire dept. I just HOPE I can get low enough to have a libido but maybe still take a smaller dose that still helps curb the anxiety and depression, BUT in order for me to do that, I must tell that BASTARD in my Head that tells me NO NO, You can't lower it to get a libido, cause the other 150 185mg will not work for you. I mean that Bastard Mr. Negative is what got me into trouble in the 1st place, how can I just tell him to shut the hell up ? LOL ; ) I am doing pretty good though, so there is hope, I have come to far now to take it back up to 200mg again and numb my sex drive.
Sincerely - Tony C.
