Glad to hear your doing better. This is my situation. I was suicidal, it was horrible depression, after 7 years of relief it is controversial, has killed like 55 people out of 11,000,000 users. What scares me is SEVEN YEARS I am so accustomed to this Medicine I did not feel bad, but I didn't feel great either, and I honestly cannot see any forseeable relief in sight when reducing, the odd things are that it seems to get worse each day as I cut down rather then better, to me that is scary as hell. Withdrawals are real, symptoms I feel are real, and alot of them undocumented. I mean the other day in the tub I felt like I was going to shake right out of my skin, YET I was not nervous nor shaking, it was a STRANGE sensation. I am convinced if I ever have to get off of this med I am am in BIG trouble, and will DEFINITELY have to be switched to something else. You have not been on as long as me, and your depression was different than mine so HOPEFULLY you can tough this out and get back to yourself agin and be drug free. Not to be gross but as much as the Serzone/Nefazodone has helped me, it has diminished my sex drive bad, and ejaculations are kind of funky more times than not. So if your having any sexual problems from your med, they should return to normal when you are off the med and your body picks up again.
Best wishes to you ; )
