> Harry, Serzone isn't my main AD, so not taking a morning dose doesn't affect me that way. I used to take it around five or six pm, because it would take a few hours for the sleep aid effect to kick in, and I would have difficulty falling asleep and would be sleepy in the morning, if I took it later than that.

Hi, Noa...It's me again. You old friend from "Celexa makes me gag". I was on serzone for a year to help my insomnia/depression and looking back after having been on other medications since, it didn't help all that much. The sedating effect (unfortunately for me) wore off quicky after my body became used to the med. I wished the sedative effects would have worked longer for me! After they wear off the Serzone does little good. (But that's just my experience.) Being an insomniac I say...enjoy the sedation while it lasts, my son!
