> You take serzone? Aren't you afraid of liver damage. If I hadn't been it might have worked as it was sedating. So this new med next year is that the tradename? Thanks compulsive poster Phillipa
I consider the risks extremely minimal, especially considering I typically take a micro-dose of 12.5-25mg nightly. My doctor concurs. I have taken nefazadone on and off for 5 years at a low-dose. It is somewhat sedating (due not just to the 5-HT2 antagonism, but the alpha-1 adrenoreceptor affinity). But overall, it's a great augmentor for sleep as well for individuals who don't fully respond to SSRI/SNRIs.
As for eplivanserin, that's the compound name, not the tradename. Sanofi plans to submit to the FDA sometime later this year.
