Big time depression set in and was not relieved until a month of serzone. I am not seeing anyone professionaly-my HMO doc has not recommended this. The up side is that I am feeling more like my old self-secure,happy,etc. I am so glad that at least I have received a temporary reprieve from this illness. I only discovered I was going thru depression when I contacted my HMO in spring of 98. I was there to determine if I was going thru menopause. I had no idea that my life of mood swings was directly related to depression and that as I have gotten older my depression has surfaced and taken hold.
> > > > Hope that helps.I took Serzone for three months, at a max of 450 mg/day. It made me feel much better (less depressed, less social anxiety, better sleep). I'd still be taking it if it worked for OCD (now am trying Effexor). The side effects at first were weird (dizziness, some strange visual effects, dry mouth, irritability) but these went away after a couple of weeks.--Cindy W
