Common Questions and Answers about Serzone patients
serzone
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.

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.
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?
Call the doctor concerning your med dose, explain your current situation to him, many doctors overlook important aspects in patients needs there first visit. Doctor needs to build a history with the patient, to fully provide treatment.
In the mean time search for another doctor, in case the doctor does not help.
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.
I did have this problem many years ago, which is when I was originally given Ambien, and put on an anti-depressant (serzone), which helped. I have been stable without the Serzone for a long time.
I decided to start taking B12, and Magnesium (oxide, crappy absorption) yesterday, and my mood improved somewhat, and some of the obsessive sensations I mentioned earlier have lessened.
I have gone through several days of crying spells, missed work, and hopelessness.
) Unfortunately, it can be associated with an increase in anxiety which, for many patients with mood disorders, is a difficulty they already have and do not want to get worse. Other side effects include sleep difficulties and increase in blood pressure.
● Mirtazapine (Remeron) – Another good anti-depressant. It also seems to work as well as SSRIs. With respect to its sexual profile, in one large study about one quarter of all patients taking Mirtazapine experienced sexual side effects.
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.
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.
This refers to a Sentinel node biopsy I had 6 years ago. The surgeon suggested it and I blindly trusted him to have it done. First, no family was allowed in with me. (If they had, they would have realized the trauma that I was going through). With the first injection, I bolted upright, fully screaming. It was the WORST pain I have ever been through. He had his assistants push me back down on the table and kept going with me screaming nonstop. I was so frightened. I was in a daze.
