Common Questions and Answers about Serzone replacement

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 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 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.
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.
612551 tn?1450022175 My idea is that you try that very slowly replacing the metoprolol with a CCB like verapamil and see if that works first and foremost clinically. If it does continue to try this replacement. Another idea is that you might try a light dose of an SSRI. Sometimes vivid dreaming is associated with mild depression or serotonin imbalance. I'm not sure if the BB might be having this effect, but it's a possibility. Strangely enough SSRIs can make for vivid dreams too.
Avatar m tn My daughter had neck disc replacement surgery 4 days ago and is still in "alot" of pain, Mostly in the back of her neck. How long should this pain last? And how much pain should there be?
Avatar f tn It would utilize greens and whole fruits and healthy oils. Make a batch and it could be your healthy snack or meal replacement for a day or two. Then make a fresh batch.

Avatar n tn Honestly, I have not talked to anyone who had 2 hips replaced at once, but can see why you would be concerned about the differences it will present. Have you posed this question to your doctor? You might post this question in the ask-a-doctor forum on the right side of the forums page.

Avatar f tn Had lense replacement over 6 months ago, am off 1 diopter in each eye. Surgeon said he could put a lense in the back of the 1st lense. Got a 2nd opinion and Dr suggested PRK was a more reasonable option. Am confused which direction to go. And can anything be done for the floaters? Didn't have them in right eye before the surgery.
Avatar m tn My wife finally seen a neurosurgeon for her cyst, after more than a year. Turns out the cyst is minor, her main problem is a degenerated disk to the point it's almost non existent and grinding bone on bone, thus pinching the nerves constantly. She was told fusion is impossible as the bone the decrees would go into is too thin making it almost impossible the hit. He left it at that.
