> I thought Serzone sounded great - a drug that didn't affect your libido or make you gain weight. Unfortunately it just didn't work for me. I had a tough time getting the drug up to a level my pdoc wanted because the side effects were so awful and came about every time I increased the drug. When I was trying to take it 2x per day, like Mary Ann, I had horrible insomnia. This lead to intense fatigue, which contributed to a deepening depression and heightened (very) feelings of wanting to commit suicide. It's remarkable to me how much better things got when i started dosing only 1x per day (at night). My sleep got alot better, and I stopped dragging around so much during the day. However, the bottom line is that I don't think I've responded positively to the drug, and I feel that the drug gives me much protection. I'm still taking it, but probably only temporarily until my life calms down enough for me to feel up to a meds switch. Mair
