> i hate this stuff.
I started on Serzone just 3 days ago, took the first dose of 100 mg on an empty stomach, and had a horrible night with dizziness, fuzzy peripheral vision, insomnia and even anxiety keeping me up until 4:30 AM. I talked to my doc and cut back to 25 mg twice a day then back up to 50 mg at night just after dinner, and though I am a little wobbly even the next morning I am pretty much OK and have given presentations and driven with no problem.
Lots of folks seem to have the experience that the side effects went away when they went slowly and just kept with it for several weeks, even through dose escalation. Despite my awful start I am going to stick with it in the hopes that the side effects go away and the benefits kick in at 4-6 weeks as advertised. It seems like there is room for you to give it more of a chance.
