> of late i've read with interest all the posts re:serzone and anger. i've been on 400 mg/day all at night + 200 mg hydroxyzine+1mg clonazepam for sleep. since seeing the new shrink, who asked me to research risperdal/seroquel/zyprexa-which i will NOT touch-and having him suggest upping the dose to 500mg serzone, -which i willingly did-the hydroxyzine is no longer necessary and i've reduced the clonazepam by 25%-tonight it will be reduced by 50%. i sleep like a log for very extended periods which i dont mind ONE BIT. as i've suffered with a furschluginner sleep disorder for my entire life, sleeping 12 hours is a VERY welcome change. i have never experienced anger with serzone. blind rage thanks to wellbutrin-THAT i know and will welcome the day that i forget the trash even exists. this weekend has been anger-producing because no matter how hard i've tried, every plan i've made for getting out of the goddamn house has fallen FLAT on its BUTTIMOOSE-still i don't think the anger i feel-which is more related to frustration-is serzone-related. would you who have suffered the serzone/anger syndrome fill me in a bit? it's possible that it may be going on w/o my noticing it though i know this is a reach.

> god is a sockI had intense anger and frustration for all of my life before getting on medication. Serzone basically put me to sleep, but I did notice that I had more frustration on it than on Paxil and Effexor. Also, I had more low-rage episodes (NOT like what I had without medication!), but at least I didn't break anything. A friend took me bowling and got me to visualize whatever was making me angry as the pins. It felt good to throw something that I didn't get in trouble for, too.
