> Same here too...I've been on it for only 5 days, but can tell you I know there's a big difference. I was taking Effexor, but had to switch due to my high blood pressure. It had increased by 20 points on a low dose (75-150) of Effexor! So I felt like I'm in withdrawal from Effexor, and I hate it! It is making me agitated, moody, tired and my crying spells have resumed. Last night, I couldn't even sleep. I just got to bed at 4:00am this morning, and got up again at 7:00am, and now I'm at work. I'm not feeling "hungover," but I'm having headaches and dizzy spells. I'm calling my psychiatrist today to ask him if I should continue on Serzone, or quit now and switch to something else. Maybe he should've tapered me off the Effexor first.
I've been taking Serzone for about two weeks, and can relate to what you have said about dizziness, fatigue, and easy anger and irritability. Does anybody know if it is effective at all with OCD and not just depression?Thanks!
