> I'm a fan of serzone, because I've found a way to manage the side effects (in the beginning it made me SOOOO sleepy; and with every dose increase, it still does). I worked with my pdoc to develop a dosing schedule that fits my life - 3x per day, with the largest dose before bedtime. And I started drinking coffee in the morning.
>I take a number of meds and Serzone is one of them. I take 400mgs per day, split up into 4 - 100mg doses. I definitely feel the effect if I take them too close together, and sleepy just about describes it. However, when taken in four separate doses, Serzone is truly a wonderful med for me.
One other item about discontinuation, if I miss a dose of Serzone I feel the effects about one hour later. I get very nauseous, my stomach moans in agony, my head throbs and I feel disconnected. So, should you decide to taper, keep these thoughts in mind, slow and low.
Best of luck to you!
