I have been on serzone for over a month. I am so up & down & have had enough. I cannot sleep on this drug. I started out taking 50mg at night for 3 nights then increased to 100mg for the next 3 nights, and kept increasing 50 mg in same manner unitl I reached 300mg. I was flying high. I would sleep for 1 hr and wake up and be up all night rearing to go. I also felt a tingleness in the back of my neck and on the back of my forearms. After a week of not sleeping my dr. cut me back to 200mg a day and suggested I take 100 mg upon awaking & then another 100mg at 6 pm. If I still didn't sleep (which I didn;t) then the 6 pm dose should be taken at noon, which I am currently doing. I do not feel tired during the day and I am sleeping a bit better but it is still very interrupted sleep and I would like some relief. Going back to dr. next week. Every where I read it says Serzone main side effect is sleepiness. Not for me - any suggestion? Also someday I feel so frustrated and unreasonably angry that I feel I just want to rage. HELP????
