Hi, I wish you well I am going low and slow, I am sick of this MEDICINE ruining my life, it helped me, but people aren't going to let it help me longterm. I love it, it is good but I will get backbone, and WILL get off of it low and slow, so far shaving about 5 mg daily for last almost 2 weeks, I feel pretty good, I will take it up more for 2 more weeks, and then more for 2 more weeks. I want my sex life back, at this point I will NOT give into junking myself up on EFFEXOR as 1 doctor recommended which I hear = NO SEXOR or ZOLOFT which = POLE SOFT - I Had a bad episode in my life 7/8 years ago tradgedy's, finacial etc. things are better now, the one guy is right pills are good but BACKBONE is required and a will, and at this point I am exhausted from all this Serzone/Nefazodone Bull Crap. I am tired of being a slave to this drug, I am held hostage buy it, lawyers, BMS pulling the plug on it etc, and have been since Black Box in Dec. 2001 - Withdraw is a NIGHTMARE for me at least, but this slow filing VERY SMALL INCREMENTS seems to be working, I am an individual 7 year veteran that needs to be weaned off of this very slow. about 75% to 85% of Doctors are totally ignorant to the fact that these meds cause EXTREME discomfort in most, but not all when reduced quickly or stopped. YOUR 100% right there is no good literature out there for Serzone withdrawal. As I reflect, I believe it is a good Medicine no doubt, but I think I want it on the market more, cause I am scared to death of the Kick AS* withdrawal this produces in me if I go to big in increments. I must face the fact nobody gives a shi* about me and my depression, I am on my own if they Yank this so I will try to wean down and hopefully off. Best of Luck mate !!!
