> > I ran into a friend who began taking meds a month ago: Serzone and Klonipin (I don't know dosage levels). She said she doesn't feel happier, but she does feel extremely hostile! (This is someone who is sweet to her friends, but has always express a lot of anger towards much of her environment-- usually about things which do indeed sound annoying.) I'm curious- as well as concerned for her-- have any of y'all experienced hostility on either of these? I take clonazepam at night sometimes to help Effexor-related insomnia and can't imagine feeling hostile on it, so I'm wondering if it's the Serzone.

> Yes- i took serzone for a while- it had no effect on my depression ( i think my depression was environmentally related anyway)- but it made me horrible- i lost friends and the respect of my work collegues because of it!!!- ive read ( on psycho-babble) that it has a half hour of only a few hours- so that is probably why poeople loose their temper and get cranky!!!.I took Serzone for a few months and LOVED it. The initial hostility and mood changes wore off after a couple weeks. The short half-life is one thing I think that keeps it from having the horrible sexual side effects that the SSRI's have. It made me less anxious and depressed.--Cindy W
