Common Questions and Answers about Serzone sleep

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 ) - Ambiem , Xanax, Trazodone, Temazepam, Serax, Lorazepam - SERZONE acted as a DUAL agent, it helped life the Major Depression and reset my Sleep to the broken sleep it is, and squashed HORRIBILE Anxiety.
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 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.
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 f tn It all started last year (12/2/12 to be exact) I was sleeping normally that night and felt a couple of flutters in my chest, I didnt think any of the matter (except that it was weird) I was slowly drifting off to sleep when all of sudden my heart starting racing and pounding extremely fast. My hands were shaking, I felt weak in the knees, I couldn't hardly walk or concentrate. It was awful. But you want to know whats crazy? It only lasted for like 45-60 seconds.
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 Many years ago I had to take Ambien, and Serzone for a period of time in order to get my sleep regulated. I had this "hypnic jerk" which would jerk me awake from sleep every time I dozed off. I was up for almost a week. Amben worked like magic back then. Eventually the Serzone took over and I could sleep without the ambien. Eventually I cut the Serzone and was still sleeping fine.
Avatar f tn I was better in 30 minutes. Went to sleep for 12 hours. I guess because I could not sleep for 3 days while I was off. I started researching xanax and benzos. Found out how very bad this drug was. 1 out of 8 are addicted in Australia. Most prescribed drug worldwide, xanax. I decided to come off. Took me 15 to 20 times of trying. I have been off for 2 years. Still have tingling in my nose and above upper lip. I am much happier. My mind can handle anxiety much better off of xanax. It's insane.
563594 tn?1309583132 5mg for the first 6 months I took it, it made me pass almost instantly, the only reason why I kept taking it, for sleep reasons, then during my hydro withdrawal, to keep the heebie-jeebie feelings away and for sleep again. I wouldn't recommend this drug to ANYone EVER. If I would've had even the slightest idea about what I was taking, I never would have. everyone kept warning me too, be careful with the xanax...I didn't listen!
Avatar f tn ve been suffering from sudden periods of nervousness anxiousness, and well sudden loss of breath this happens like once a day everyday. i cant sleep at night im scared to fall to fall asleep it makes me panic i start feeling if im going to die. about my heart beat i think that somethings wrong too!! i get massive headaches that last for strong periods of time sometimes i think im going crazy.i've had a kidney infection most of my life that never seems to go away im really scared about that!
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.
612551 tn?1450022175 m scheduled for a sleep study on Nov 7th because my sleep changed at the same time I started with these PVCs. I wake up a lot during the night. I wake up during vivid dreams now, never did that before. The dreams aren't troubling, just very vivid and I wake from them, usually with my PVCs going. Your PCP can assess any signs of depression. They go through some questions to see if you meet the criteria.
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 In re-reading the study, I see that it looked at just 4 new-generation ADs--Prozac, Effexor, Serzone, and Paxil. The authors used the freedom of information act to obtain ALL studies of the medications from the FDA (it says that most drug companies only publish information from successful studies). In fact, it seems that the main impetus here is to examine reporting bias, not drug efficacy.
484508 tn?1290010544 I did take Prozac, 20 mg and Serzone before it was removed from the market- for depression, but that was when it was mostly depression and I did not notice the anxiety portion. When I went back on Prozac a year ago after 3 days I had such anxiety that I almost ended up in the er. That is why the doc said to start slow at 10 mg. I started at 5mg. I think that the first day, taking 10mg, I had a serotoniun surge, so I cut back to 5.
362971 tn?1201987034 Has anyone heard of or seen any studies about any drugs affecting viral load? I was wondering what other people have heard. I saw somewhere on a post on this Forum that they took Viagra during treatment. because of its affects on them. I took it occasionally myself because during treatment my HGB was so low I think it affected me. Anyway it helped and I was wondering if it could affect my chances of SVR. Here is a link I found and what this person has to say about it.
Avatar n tn I would recommend you speak to your primary care provider about the possibility of using an alternative medication to the TCA, possibly Wellbutrin or Serzone. I would not stop taking any of your medications without the express guidance of your doctor or prescriber. Also, Lyrica, marketed by Pfizer Inc.
1128643 tn?1262483649 Prozac, Zoloft, Effexor, amitryptiline, Paxil, trazadone, Serzone...all but MAOIs. They either had no effect or the averse effects outweighed the positive (zoloft kept me afloat by making me numb to all feelings altogether). Finally, in 2003, I was in a study for treatment resistant depression and Lexapro quite literally saved my life. I was later switched to Celexa for financial reasons. I had no problems transitioning and have taken it for the past six years.
522415 tn?1242937755 I often get the anxiety and panic at bedtime. I think the reason is that I know I will probably not sleep well and if I do sleep, I always wake up because of some kind of pain. It's horrible to be up in the night with pain. I don't even have pain pills because they make me nauseous, so I just use Tylenol, Advil, ice, the muscle creams like BenGay and Aspercream, which don't help enough for bad pain.
