- Between 2011 and 2014, nearly 13 percent of all U.S. residents took an antidepressant within the last month.

Each patient responds to medications differently, and Serzone is no different. As we mentioned before, several factors influence how long nefazodone stays in your system. These factors are:
- Age: How old you are influences how long Serzone stays in your system because younger people typically have more efficient body functions than older people. The more efficient the body functions are, the quicker Nefazodone is removed.
- Body height/weight/fat: The amount of Nefazodone you are prescribed is partially due to your height, weight and body fat. If you are a bigger person, your dose will be higher than a smaller person. The higher the dose, the longer Serzone stays in your system.
- Genetics: Genes are another important factor in how long nefazodone stays in your body because genetics affect your metabolism functions. If your metabolism is fast, Serzone will be eliminated quickly.
- Kidney and liver functions: The kidneys and liver eliminate all medications you put in your body. If these organs are damaged in any way, Serzone may linger in your system for longer.
- Usage frequency: If your Serzone treatment lasted several years, it would take longer for your body to rid itself of the medication than someone who had only taken it for a few months.
- Urine: Serzone can usually be found in your urine within a few hours of taking it. Typically, 55 percent of nefazodone is excreted in the urine.
- Hair: Drug tests involving hair follicles have the longest detection window. Serzone can be detected in your hair for a maximum of 90 days after you last used it.
- Blood: Nefazodone can usually be detected in your blood a few hours after using it. Because of Serzone’s short half-life, it usually is not detected in your blood after a few days.
