> Well guys, thanx for the input. I have been on welbutrin for a while now, but it never did anything for me so my doc. added celexa. Celexa is working o.k., but I wouldn't mind trying something else. Zoloft was the best so far, but the sexual side effects were even worse than they are with celexa, so I had to stop. Could you guys give me any info. on serzone? I was thinking about switching to that. I was on remeron and I felt like crap cuz I was so tired and out of it, so I switched. Is serzone the same?
Frank, Serzone is not an SSRI. It didn't have any sexual side effects. I didn't feel tired when taking it except at the very first. Mostly what was weird was that the first two weeks, I felt irritable and unaccountably ANGRY for no reason. This went away after two weeks. At a high dose (450 mg/day), I also had some strange visual effects (at night, I saw "trails" when I would get up to pee and moved my hands in the air). Other than that, I really liked Serzone and would still be taking it if it helped OCD. Effexor-XR is also not an SSRI and seems to have fewer/no sexual side effects (what I'm taking now).--Cindy W
