In reply to Serzone as next option?, posted by Babysnakes on July 1, 2003, at 23:20:42
Serzone seems like it might not be a bad option. Anyone on it care to comment. My three concerns with Serzone are:
1. How effective of an AD is it?
Pretty effective for me in a very mild way. Some feel it does nothing, but I could feel its effects. It is somewhat sedating, especially at first, but your body will adjust.
2. How dangerous is the liver thing?
I went back on it even after the liver concerns, because although the liver effects are higher than first thought, they are still considered rare. They can be severe, so I would suggest a baseline liver test before starting the med, and then monthly blood tests thereafter. I am no longer on it, because I had a positive effect from extra Neurontin.
Will it affect my sex drive/performance like prozac?
I have noticed a slight delayed orgasm, but nothing like prozac. It did not affect drive at all.
Hope that helps!
