I'm sorry you feel down and out. Depression feels overwhelming and unbearable alot of the time, I can relate to that. I have heard that abilify can amplify paranoia and agoraphobia, so perhaps you could talk to your pdoc about another anti-psychotic if you haven't tried one before. I would recommend olanzepine(Zyprexa), or Risperdal at low doses. I have heard that Abilify can exacerbate paranoia anecdotally, possibly by binding to pre-synaptic dopamine autoreceptors and decreasing dopamine release by the receptor it acts on. Also, maybe increasing the dose of your anti-depressant to say 50 or 100mg would help. I say this because 25mg is a very low dose of Serzone, I've never heard of a dose that low. Serzone is a very weak anti-depressant at that dose compared to the other SSRI's like Paxil, Zoloft, Celexa, Prozac, etc.
I hope I gave you some ideas to work with and I hope you feel better.
