Anyone out there take xanax and serzone? I was on prozac
and xanax and then celexa and xanax for depression with
marked anxiety. I had to quit both AD's because of side
effects, but my experience with xanax was similar for both.
Once the antidepressant kicked in I found it relatively
easy to taper and go off the xanax- some mild flue like
symptoms, irritibility but that was it. Even at my highest
dose of 3-4 mg for 8wks, it was easier to get off xanax than get on
prozac,celexa, serzone. So I am at week 5 of serzone and
I can finally feel it kicking in (and minimal side effects
so I am very hopeful). So I tried to go off xanax (only 1mg/day for
6 wks) with slow taper, but wow there was immediate return
of what felt like a greater anxiety than my initial baseline.
So I am back on it with no desire to get off soon. Any similar
experiences with xanax and serzone.
