Common Questions and Answers about Serzone and xanax

serzone

Avatar n tn I had NO side effects back then. My doc is thinking we will try serzone. Does serzone work similar to remeron? If remeron works will serzone likely work when all these others just make me worse? I'm so frustrated.
Avatar n tn t - What works for you or others did not work for me, the ONLY relief I got from my Major Vegatative Depression was Serzone, and only 200mg a day at that, that is all I ever took. I tried, Paxil, and laid awake literally for 2 weeks straight, tried Zoloft, Noritryptaline, Pamelor, Triavil ( Trilofon ?
Avatar n tn 5mg of Xanax 4 times a day about 8 years ago and my blood pressure has been fine since. I went to a new doctor to establish a new family physician relationship and get needed refills. Every refill, including lower back pain muscle relaxers and pain medication, was filled exactly as they had been with the exception of Xanax. This new doctor arbitrarily reduced the prescription to 3 times per day. I didn't find out until Medco mailed my prescription to me.
563594 tn?1309583132 hey y'all. I just need to vent, I'm dizzy, a little disoriented and have to keep working and acting like everything is normal when its not. I'M not. I know the doctor is tapering me too quickly, but I feel like I should just go along with it. Obviously my body has become dependent on xanax in just 8 months. what a ridiculous drug... I am really not looking forward to the next month. even the month after that...
1432927 tn?1283546704 There are many choices for anxiety and it takes trial and error to get the right combo. I suggest Nefazodone (Serzone) in a light dose at first, ramp to 150mg BID, Serzone doesn't have any any of the side effects of Paxil. There are known liver side effects for Serzone though and must be carefully considered with current liver function + follow liver functions while on it.
Avatar n tn I have experienced withdrawl from every AD medication that I have ever taken, this includes Zoloft, Serzone, and Cymbalta just to name a few. I agree, it is a very nasty feeling. I get very light headed and experience Vertigo really bad during withdrawl. Headaches and nausa are also very common. Trust me it gets better, but it takes anywhere from 1 to 3 months before improvement is realized.
1115705 tn?1258815104 She wants me off any sort of benzo except for possibly .5 mg to use as PRN and to switch the Serzone to Celexa. The Serzone has black box warnings about liver issues and is banned in many countires. But, overall it did give me my life back. There seems to be trend in my area against the use of benzos. I am hoping to hang around here a bit as we slowly step through this process. The wean down from Klonopin began three nights ago with generic Remeron being the subsitue.
Avatar f tn After stopping serzone for anxiety, my husband had a reaction of severe insomnia after trying Lexapro for 3 days. His doctor suggested bipolar and put him on Zyprexa but is weaning him down gradually. He's on 7.5 mg currently. What side effects can we expect if he doesn't really have bipolar (which is our opinion) from this medication? We know the most common ones, but what if he is not truly bipolar? I can't wait for him to get off of it, but he is sleeping soundly again.
Avatar m tn Turns out it is BARDS and slight damage has been done. You want to watch how this progresses and follow up if it doesn't do away with the med changes.
Avatar n tn Does Serzone cause weight gain and how does it affect your sex drive. This is my first time on this forum and looking for some answers.
Avatar m tn with no deppression i am now feeling deppressed and i think it is from a melatonine/5-htp combo, i know it is a seratonine uptake drug but i was on Serzone for 17 days and it made me extremely suicidal so could 5-htp be the cause?
Avatar f tn I had had a concussion, been on meclizine and valium and some other wierd things- the Quack Doc injected my skull above my ear where I had the concussion pain, with a wierd nerve block drug or something (I was trying to comply) and my face turned sort of green...this same quack put me on serzone...ended up in crisis in hospital......messed up my life terribly, all these drugs ! As a child, I suffered from insomnia at times. I had a very unhappy childhood indeed- a sad, lonely one.
Avatar m tn I have been having progressively worsening visual symptoms for years now. It started off as only visual symptoms, limited to my left eye. Just before I went on Serzone for depression, they started to get worse. I would see flashes/streaks of light, ghosting, halo's around backlit objects, increased floaters, the odd inability to maintain focus when looking anyone in the eye. And not for nervous reasons. Over the last few years, the previous symptoms have evolved into new ones which follow.
Avatar f tn The one that worked OK for me was serzone but that was pulled from the market due to liver damage. It relaxed me and helped with anxiety issues. I had heard about the liver issues before it was pulled from the market so I started to wean off it myself. I was only on it 6 months so it wasn't too bad, then I started to see a counselor and started cognitive behavior therapy.
Avatar m tn My doc told me I has a 3 beat run of V-tach non sustained , and after 14 yrs and many test and many cardios telling me nothing was wrong with my heart The second heart cath in 2009 revealed a anomoly of my herat and I have to have a c slice . Im mad for all those ppl and and docs treating me like I was crazy when I felt something was wrong. and low and behold !!!!yea I have anxiety ,but I dont know if the anxiety and pills caused this or my heart acting up caused the anxiety ????????
Avatar n tn Side effects of Lyrica including sleepiness, dizziness, blurry vision, weight gain, trouble concentrating, swelling of the hands and feet, and dry mouth. Lastly, Paxil can also be associated with weight gain. Again as stated before Wellbutrin has a lower incidence of weight gain . The average weight gain with paroxetine (Paxil®) for someone who weighs 150 pounds is about 5 pounds. Some people can gain much more.
Avatar f tn If used strictly on a PRN (as needed basis) you could take Xanax for the rest of your life and have no problems. But Xanax is best utilized on a short term basis, <4 months if used daily. For long term anxiety, which after 10 years we can all agree you have, a drug such as Klonopin is as effective as Xanax at controlling not only panic attacks but the anticipatory anxiety that usually comes with severe panic disorder. Best of all, it is prescribed for long term use, as in years.
1302779 tn?1287405029 My doc swithched from xanax to klonopin one .05 mg in the morning and 2 at night when anxiety is at its peak for me. he said that klonopin would be better it has a longer life than xanax? any input would be great!!
Avatar n tn I understand that mixing Xanax and Alcohol can have serious negative effects. However, my question is mainly about Xanax, and in regard to how long it stays in the system to the point where it is dangerous to mix with alcohol. (i.e., is it dangerous to drink alcohol after 1 day of not taking Xanax?..2 days? etc). Another question, how serious are the long-term effects of drinking alcohol WITH xanax?
Avatar f tn How many hrs were between the dose of fluconazle and Xanax ? I feel like death and I took the fluconazle one pill at 8 am and it's now 11 pm and feel like total blahhh!!!
Avatar n tn I have been on anti-depressants for a number of years so I live with depression and addiction - to xanax and anything else that is addictive. Yeah, I only took the xanax for 3 days but I took enough to have it alter my brain chemicals. Well it sounds like I need to ride it out and see if the depression lifts in a day or two or then get back to the Dr and readjust my anti-depressant. Spring is here so the extra sunlight helps. Sleep deprivation is a bummer. But as they say...
Avatar m tn But it would depend on how much you were taking, how often you took it, and perhaps how susceptible you were. I have COPD and use Xanax only as needed and at the lowest dosage. It does not affect my breathing, and perhaps because of its calming effect may actually make me breathe more easiiy.
Avatar n tn Is lexapro and xanax the same? If not, what is the difference and does the lexapro make you feel the same as xanax do??
Avatar f tn My best friend takes Xanax and has asthma and she says it doesn't affect it. I would think it only would if you took too much or more than the recommended dosage.
Avatar n tn t cause this so in Dec 2007 I had a liver function test and an ultrasound of my liver and gallbladder. All tests were normal. I came off the xanax and 7 days later like magic my bowel color was brown. I told my doctor who still said xanax doesn't do that. I looked on google and could find no information about it either. I started to feel very sick and depressed and high anxiety a few weeks after not taking xanax so I started the .25mg of xanax a day.
Avatar m tn Yes I'm Prescribed both. I was prescribed .25mg of xanax and ran out. So I was having a panic attack and took the ativan at 1mg.
