> SpikeThanks Spike. I did find Serzone to be one of the best a.d.'s, but it left me feeling SO tired and drained, and it also left me with horrible flu/cold like symptoms. I have checked out Ray's website, and it is excellent. I am using clonazepam/klonipin now in a good dose, and it is great.
Thanks!
