> Conclusion: the cure is worse than the disease.numbers, I take Serzone at night...to help me sleep. Talk to your pdoc before you decide to stop taking it. It took me a couple of weeks to adjust to some of the stuff it did at first (nervousness, mood swings) but once they disappeared, it really made me feel much better. So talk to your pdoc, and good luck to you!--Cindy W
