I mean isn't there a law where Doctors can tell a company that this is the ONLY Medication that works, and the person prescribed it should have the right to obtain it ? I am telling you now as good as Serzone is, it is NOT easy to get off of, at least for me and score of others I talked to over the years. Tell the Public Citizens how you feel, they don't care but let them know, you never know they may realize we have our opinion also. This is AMERICA, I am ticked that Bristol Myers left us in the cold also, they should of said WE WILL NOT MAKE IT NO MORE TO SELL IT TO NEW PEOPLE, BUT WE WILL STILL SPECIALLY MAKE IT FOR THOSE WHOSE DOCTORS DETERMINE THIS IS BEST HOPE FOR THEM CAUSE THEY HAVE USED IT 7 YEARS. Look at it this way, my own opinion is that Bristol Myers Caved into the massive lawsuits, and came up with this poor sales crap to take the heat off. Now think of it, I know Nefazodones days are numbered, cause the Generic companies see that the Big Boy Bristol Myers Squibb can't afford to keep it on the market, versus lawsuits, so the little Generics will probably shortly remove it also. I am just sick to my stomach thinking of the future of this good medicine. I mean don't forget to tell Public Citizens your concern, it is your AMERICAN Right, remind them they do not reprsent you or most Serzone/Nefazodone users. Maybe we should find a way to email Bristol Myers and ask if they would consider a "SPECIAL" program to keep Serzone available for long termers under a Doctors Care. Doctors are here to help us, but in my experience they still do not know how I feel inside and out, I mean I am the guy on it for 7 long years.
Best of Luck for all of us we need it !!!
