In reply to Serzone, does it help with nervousness/anxiety?, posted by lrc on October 16, 2001, at 8:08:42
> Is it only used for depression? Is it an SSRI? Thanks
I suffer from anxiety, panic nervousness, and depression. I was started on 50mg of serzone 2x daily. When i upped it to 100mg, i felt side effects such as anxiety, skin crawling some neausea, sleeplessness. I believe i had a bad reaction to this med. Maybe i ddint stay on it long enough or upped the dosage quick.
Then i tried remeron. Almost within 1 hour, i fell into a nice sleep and wokeup with almost no anixety. My depression is leveled out, but im not mr outgoing or happy all the time. I added .5mg of xanax 2x daily which wiped out all anxiety. My p doc then added desipramine to counteract sedation and at a low dose works well. I dont feel anxiouis, overmedicated and such. Working out helps alot for mood. I may switch to zoloft and klonopin/ambien for sleep after a few months. i dont like meds which cause initial anxiety neausea insomina! NO!
