> A few months ago I went on Serzone, mostly for social anxiety, but also for minor depression. One of the reasons I have been depressed is a crush I have on a woman who, for various reasons, is not available to me for a possible relationship. This crush has been very unpleasant, since it is such a hopeless situation, it basically makes me feel like a high schooler mooning over some girl who would never go out with him. It has ruined many weekends and taken the pleasure out of most activities.

Lately I have been tapering off the Serzone in preparation for trying Paxil - I am down to 250 mg/day now from 550 mg/day - and the crush is returning! For the first time in months I am mooning over this woman again. It is most distressing! I am hoping the Paxil will banish these feelings again when I go on it.

Have you ever thought of trying Seroquel
or Zyprexa for your romantic crush?
Unrequited love is painful; what makes you
think the situation is hopeless??Glenn
