Common Questions and Answers about Serzone ocd

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.
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.
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 m tn I'm at my wits end here. I've been suffering from sleep issues for about a week. I used to sleep like a rock for 7-10 hours a night uninterrupted. Over the past 2 weeks I've been having some major issues. I had a health scare, and thought I was going deaf. A petty thing, really. I poked a cloth too far in my ear, and plugged wax into the inner ear canal. A walk-in clinic visit later, and I was seemingly fine, even for the next day or 2. Then, the sleep issues started.
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 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 m tn 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. Extreme sensitivity to moderately bright lights.
Avatar f tn Hi there, I just finished reading your comments. Are you taking any prescription medications of any kind ? Some prescription medications have a light headed feeling as a side effect. You said you have had phases of depression. During those phases of depression, did your doctor prescribe antidepressants? Many years ago, one doctor put me on a certain kind of antidepressant. I took that antidepressant for several years. Then for whatever reason that antidepressant stopped working for me.
Avatar n tn The only cause I thought later that might have been was I was taking generic serzone (since they took the name brand off the market for liver damage), but I'm not sure if the medicine I tooke was why it happened. It was said to be unusual to have one on my liver by a doctor, but not harmful. It is a collection of blood vessels.
Avatar n tn But my understanding from reliable sources is that it is in the same class as Serzone which was pulled off the market due to liver toxicity. Just because Trazadone is still out there I don't believe it is completely safe for everyone. If Serzone is in the same class and pulled off the market, wouldn't you be cautious with the others in the group and drug companies have a tendency at times to withold data.
Avatar f tn Hi there. Everybody's OCD is different and I have to say that this is not something that I do however my sister did it for years. You and your friend need some psychological intervention. I know it is great to have somebody to talk to and who completely understands where you are coming from but the reality is this is a disorder that can be treated and there is no reason why you and your friend should be burdened with this hand washing problem. Look at it as a bonus this way...

10409592 tn?1412596374 m wondering if this started from some sort of stress event in your life because that is usually when my OCD starts to act up. Have you ever seen a pscyhologist for what you describe as your OCD tendencies?
Avatar n tn My eleven year old son was diagnosed with OCD about 2 months ago. I am going crazy. He is on prozac (very little amount). He has to go next week to check the medication. He goes every week for therapy. The guidance counselor and the psychologist at school work with him. He does very well at school finally but when he gets home he follow me around CONSTANTLY asking me about anything and everything if he's okay.

Avatar m tn I have severe OCD and I'm very poor. I have constant panic attacks and I'm worried that the stress could lead to severe medical conditions. On top of that I'm tired of constantly being on the edge of panic. I can barely eat because my food always seems tainted. Plus the tics I have from tourettes, I'm in severe need of help, but can't afford it, nor do I know where to look (for example, do I need a therapist, councilor, psychologist, psychiatrist, etc.
