Serzone withdrawal, need some help getting off !!!

Posted by garyengelm on January 17, 2008, at 16:22:02

I've been on the drug for years at 400mg. It pooped out on me months ago. I have dropped down in intervals of 25mg about every 1-2 weeks. This latest drop from 275 to 250mg really increased my anxiety. Started feeling an Akathisia rxn today around noon. I immediately took 25mg benedryl and got some relief, but within 2 hours, it started coming back. I decided to pop 12.5mg of Serzone back in me. The Akathesia has pretty much subsided, but not sure where to go from here. I am very med sensative. I started Lexapro a few weeks ago at only 1.25mg. After a week, I tried to go to 2.5mg and got very sick. I know from the past that the Serzone interferes with SSRI metabolism, at least with me. So I went back to 1.25mg on the Lexapro, and even at that tiny dose, I feel a little lift in my depression. I know I need to go higher, but I also know I need the Serzone dose lower first.

I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance....

Gary
