Consumer Review: I Switched From Prozac To Serzone. It Helps My Anxiety And Depression If I Take Enough Of It.
I have a dual diagnosis of depression and anxiety, and had been on and off of Prozac for several years before my D.O. switched me to Serzone. After being without any medication for a hellish week, I felt the Serzone working within about 3 days. I felt better. I worked up to the standard 300 mg per day dose, but had several "issues." The most noticeable was my confusion. I work at a job where I am using my brain 100% and need to be able to recount what I did the week before, which I could not initially do. Thank goodness I write notes! I was also experiencing insomnia.
When I spoke to my doc about it, we both agreed that we could try a higher dose before pulling me off of the serzone completely. We added an extra 50 mg of serzone at bedtime, and it's amazing what a difference it has made for me. The confusion stopped, as did the insomnia. I do not feel as utterly happy as I did on the Prozac. I have moments where my depression is at a medium level, but at least the anxiety has gone away. Overall, I don't know if this is a perfect drug, but at least I am able to make it through the days. My appetite is lower, which is a good thing for me. The only continuous problem is that I have problems waking up even after I am up for awhile. Coffee helps.

I am so happy that I read your article. I also am taking serzone, and I as well am going through the same things. I seem to forget a lot, like what did I do last week or seeing things I had got for my children and saying "when did I buy that" and killing myself trying to remember because it would bother me. I didn't want to tell anyone because my family, first of all, thinks any anti-depression medicine is not good. Also, I feel like doing things takes me all day, when it should only take me a couple hours.
As far as my depression, I feel like it does work, although sometimes during the day I can feel the depression working its way, and usually it will be my time to take my next dose. I take 250mgs throughout the day. I as well have a hard time waking up. Thank you so much for making me feel like I'm not the only going through these feelings...I will make an appointment to see my doctor. Thank you again.
