I was so focused on the sleep part of Emilu's post, I didn't pay attention to the 50 mg for only 5 days. Jamie, thanks for calling attention to it. I agree. First of all, 50 mg. of nefazodone is not anywhere near the therapeutic dose. Second of all, a lot of meds have initial side effects that go away after a few weeks. I found that to be especially true with nefazodone, although not insomnia. I had some lightheadedness, balance problems, agitation, extreme emotionality. BUt it all subsided after a few weeks on the target dose, which for me was about half of the usual therapeutic dose, because I am taking it as an augmentor to effexor, so I only take it once a day. It was hasty to stop so soon.
