I could be wrong, but I think serzone is an SNRI, and in the same class as wellbutrin. I've tried prozac, zoloft, paxil, serzone, wellbutrin, effexor, celexa (I think) and probably other ones if there are any. To be honest, I don't know exactly what they did for me. They numbed me out somewhat, but I don't know if that was good. Increased anxiety, etc. was something else I experienced. I gained some weight. I got electric shocks in the head and face when I stopped (I stopped cold turkey on most because I ran out, then decided I didn't like em, I liked being off of them more). It's all kind of a blur. Prozac specifically made me feel WEIRD, probably more depressed. I don't think they can be claimed as little miracles. We don't know enough about the brain right now. Basically I would be cautious, and decide for yourself. LISTEN TO YOURSELF NOT PROZAC.
