> Zoloft with Serzone 100-150mg. Hi, I have OCD and I tried serzone, highest I got to was 225 mg. I guess I could have gone higher, but all the posts I read, as well as my psychiatrist, that serzone has absolutely no effect on OCD, so I backed it down to 150 and tried Kava Kava, no effect still. So, I am now taking zoloft 50 mg and gradually increasing. Doc said I should completely eliminate the serzone. I am really worried about my sex drive going so I think I am going to keep taking the serzone at 100mg. What do you think of that combo?

My experience with taking both was a touch of seratonin syndrome. I had insomnia, a racy feeling and was urination every hour or so. I think some people can tolerate two antidepressants together, but I am very sensitive to seratonin. I would just watch for signs of SS.
I have read on this site, that adding a little serzone to an SSRI is acceptable and does help with the sexual side effects. You can search the archives for more info.
Hope this helps.
