In reply to 1200mgs of Serzone?!?, posted by bigcat on June 25, 2006, at 9:02:17
> My doctor recently told me the dose for Serzone/Nefazadone can go all the way up to 1200mg. I called her out on that figure immediately, as I thought 600mg was the upper end of the dose range. (She's generally a conservative prescriber- won't take effxor over 225mgs), so I was just wondering if it really went that high? I've been on it for two weeks and just reached 500mgs- so far it seems to be sapping my energy and making me even more noticeably mute and withdrawn than usual, though it could just be that the depression has gotten worse now that I've lost hope in ad's. I'm treatment resistant and able to tolerate very high doses. Anyone have any luck or experience with the buspar, pindolol, and nefazadone combo? If so, at what doses? It would be nice to know if the nefazadone really does go that high, because a while back I did have one great day on it (at 500mgs), a feeling that didn't last or come back when I upped the dose to 600mgs. Hope you all are well...

Not to add a a scare factor or anything,but wasnt serzone notorious for possably damaging the liver,in fact banned in certain places or something,im not sure if there was a tweak to the med or some type of change,i dont know the follow up just remeber reading a story on a girl who made me so sad on it and the liver problems she had.If it were still true in any way,a med that needs to be watched in vivo ur liver would be one id think ud want to make slow changes too,not one you wanna make such a drastic dose chance,you might want to research serzones status as of now unless u know more about it than i do as far as that goes.
Like i said i hope im just outdated on this and something changed,but i do remeber it was quite serious at the time.
