My daughter is a diagnosed borderline personality, and has been taking serzone for several weeks now. I didn't have much hope, but amazingly, she says she feels a lot better. However, she and I both think she needs something to level out her moods and help control her rages, which are frightening to behold. She refuses to consider lithium, why I don't know. Just put her foot down about that. (She's 23) She has been cutting herself and trying various other methods of mutilation and suicide attempts since high school, when I dragged her into therapy. She's an adult now and I can't drag her anywhere, but she at least recognizes that she needs some more help with the mood swings and rages. Anyone have any idea of such a drug that would augment her serzone? She really thinks this med is helping her and wants to stay on it, but just needs a little something else maybe. Any information would be appreciated and looked into. Thanks, Deb
