In reply to Serzone (Nefazodone) anyone?, posted by Lamdage22 on January 16, 2014, at 11:52:59
Yes, I am on nefazodone. I just went to check my bottle to tell you the maker -- mine is from Teva USA. The company with the right to the name brand Serzone chose to take that off the market due to a rare liver risk, so the name brand Serzone can no longer be had (I was never on the name brand, it was before my use of the med), but the FDA never took the medication off the market, so the generic can still be made.
I am pleased with it, at least enough to stay on it. I am taking 100 mg in the morning and 100 mg at night. My pdoc had as a goal initially to get me to a higher dose, but the urinary side effect that had gotten too bad with despiramine (and was the cause of me stopping desipramine) started to show up with nefazodone, but was dose-dependent, so this is where I'm at, and it seems to be okay. (The symptom I get is frequent pressure like I need to urinate, but then I do so, and the pressure is still there. My current use of nefazodone is at a tolerable level, meaning not too much of the urinary pressure most of the time.)
