> Ugh. I had a similar experience, but it got worse as time went on, and stayed much much worse. My blood pressure is low to begin with, and I tend toward anorexia when I'm upset or depressed. Eventually I had to stop taking it at all, which took forever because the doctor was such an idiot.

> The doctor I saw wouldn't consider taking me off Serzone until one of the nurses forced her to: AFTER I'd been throwing up everything I tried to eat for about two weeks and hadn't gotten out of bed for days. My ex-boyfriend was ready to put me back in the hospital, but it got better AS SOON AS I went off the Serzone.

> I hope you find something which works for you as well as my current meds work for me. If it's Serzone, great. If it's not, don't give up hope. With all the drugs out there, it won't take long to find the right one.Terry, I agree with Noa's posting above. With Serzone, it is important to increase it very gradually; also, the dizziness and emotionality for me disappeared after a couple of weeks. Then I felt GREAT.--Cindy W
(I'd still be taking it and not mostly Effexor-XR if it worked for OCD)
