I know one doctor who has a great deal of success with it. He claims it is his method of dosing that creates the high success rate. He starts patients at 50mg a day and increases by 25mg every four days. For some strange reason, he claims Serzone works much better this way and allows a smoother adjustment to any side effects. He prefers to give a larger portion of the dose late in the day, with a smaller portion in the morning or at lunch. Sometimes the higher starting doses in literature are just too much to start with, and just lead to adverse reactions that lead to premature discontinuance. JohnL
