thanks for the advice.
re: reasons not to be on Serzone:
* Serzone has an unfavorable profile re: pregnancy and is also difficult to withdraw from. I would like to get pregnant in the next year or two.
* I had a couple of panic attacks right after taking it when I was on it, apparently due to a buildup of m-cPP, a sign of being a bad metabolizer. However when that happened I was cross-tapering with an SSRI, and that may have been related.
> vilazodone might be somewhat similar. It doesnt do many of the same things but I wonder how much the basic chemical structure might play into your response?
> Another option might be to add wellbutrin to it for some NE and DA effects.
> This drug is a serotonin receptor antagonist much like the atypical antipsychotics. You could try one of those and see if the response is similar.
> Any reason you dont want to be on nefazodone? I did some research on it and tried to get a script from my doc, no luck. straight SSRI's seem to make me mixed.. I figured an antagonist might be a little different. Im not too keen on AAP's.
> trazodone's AD effects are pretty weak. Its primarily used as a sleep aid these days.
