e503,
I've been on Serzone for a while now (only 150mg), and I had the same symptoms as you to start - incredible, paralyzing sedation. But, I kept with it, and now I have virtually no side effects. My sedation symptoms wore off when I made two changes - 1) spliting my total daily dose into 4 separate doses & 2) having a cup of coffee in the morning (seems simple, but I've been off caffeine for years). Also, the nausea should go away. Try keeping bland crackers around, also hard candy (helped to soothe my stomach & with dry mouth). I made these changes after being on the serzone for ~ 3 months.
For me, these symptoms were relatively easy to deal with - but I know they may not be for you.
Good luck!> I went up to 150 mg. at night of serzone last night. I was taking 100 mg. /night. I am thinking about going off of it. I feel like sh/t. I am really tired/groggy during the day and just started to get nauseous. Once I fall asleep at night, I can sleep EASILY for a LONG time ----- i can't get myself out of bed! I hate this stuff. So....how do I taper myself off of it?
