The thing that makes serzone unique is the way it blocks certain receptors. The meds that would come closest to doing similar blocking of similar receptors would include zyprexa, remeron, and risperdal. Without a receptor blocker in your mix I doubt you will find anything to replace serzone. Maybe trazodone. It is in the same family as serzone.
I remember you had to get off serzone because the doctor feared liver probs? Cases of that happening were actually quite rare. More common than other meds, but still rare. I don't understand the hesitancy to get back on it. Frequent liver tests (monthly) as well as daily supplementation with Milk Thistle should keep you well entrenched in the safety zone. Generic serzone is easily available anywhere in the world either through a doctor or directly through the internet no-prescription pharmacies.
Milk thistle is a powerhorse at liver protection and rejuvenation. What's better, to be depression-free and living a good life where the only catch is you have to protect/monitor the liver; or having your life, your job, your family, your entire being, suffer in the mud everyday but your liver doesn't need any extra care? I mean, what's better of those two choices?
