I have also been on Serzone in the past and am currently taking Celexa. Serzone didn't seem to do much for me, but maybe I didn't stay on it long enough or on a high enough dose.
I have seen other posts discussing the disparity between the theoretical merits of Serzone, and actual results. So I know that other people are asking the same questions that you are. On the positive side, I have read of some success stories with Serzone. Sometimes with Serzone alone. And sometimes with Serzone to help with sleep when taken in combination with a different AD.

Personally, I can't put my finger on why I didn't like the drug (aside from the sedation and rage that would frequently occur) I felt somewhat insulated from my life, living at a low-level hum with no noticeable joy or vitality.
