Common Questions and Answers about Serzone warning

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 f tn I just wanted to warn all you mommies about a swing. My mother had the fisher price starlight cradle swing and it is very dangerous. It catapulted him out of it. He was hanging out of the swing. It has also caught a women's house on fire. I am warning everyone because recently someone offered it to me and it reminded me of the awful experience. Please be aware. My brother had a Contusion on his brain from the incident.
Avatar n tn t think your post will help, the overdose of nicotine, i was told by my doctor, and some aids instructions have a warning on the instructionsabout smoking while using these aids.
611606 tn?1315517767 I hope you wonderful people will heed this warning and at least talk this over with your Doctors, and/or Home Care Nurses. Here is another useful hint, the less you shave your legs, the lighter and thinner the leg hair becomes.. Seriously, OK Guys, stop laughing, except for the leg shaving part, this Forum Post is for you too!!! Sorry for any spelling mistakes, my eyes are very blurry this Morning, but felt this was too important to not to post it ASAP!!!
176495 tn?1301280412 Wow Jim, that's a womans worst nightmare. Thanks for the warning and how scary that she did came out!!! Here in Chicago, if that happens it's a trick to get the woman to pull over and many times they have a fake police badge and the woman end's up raped. I hope this does not traumatize your daughter to the point where she will be afraid to go out anywhere. She might need counseling. Thanks for the warning Jim...
Avatar f tn **WARNING!!!** I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 10 years ago and have been treated with Synthroid since. I would constantly complain of palpitations/flutter and was told that my EKG was normal, I would also complian of SOB and had an echocardiogram which was also "normal". A few months back I was scheduled to have an elective minor surgery in which a preop EKG was ordered, it was ABNORMAL and showed a left bundle branch block and an intraventricular conduction abnormality.
Avatar f tn So, just a warning to everyone, stay away from that fake online pharmacy clomid. I know, it was stupid of me to try it but I want a baby so badly.
Avatar f tn Hey ladies don't know if you've seen it on FB or the news yet. There has been a warning issued, reminding moms not to let their babies sleep in the car seats. Babies are are being killed by being brought in, in their car seat and left to finish napping. This happens due to the lack of suport to their neck, cuzing them to suffocate. Tell you it sure has made me re-think about letting my baby sleep in his swing or his rocking chaire.
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.
563594 tn?1309583132 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! Well, not well enough, I NEVER abused xanax thank god, and even now I'm having problems tapering it. I can't imagine what would've happened if I would've abused it...ugh.. anyway, don't take it. i'm glad you didn't and I'm glad it didn't work for you. are you trying to get off hydros?
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.
