In reply to Serzone or Effexor? (your experience on either?), posted by terraflux@hotmail.com on October 3, 1999, at 7:08:30
I've been on serzone for two years - and it's the best antidepressant I've taken (I've taken Zoloft, Paxil, Remeron, Wellbutrin, Prozac, Tofranil). The SSRIs work for me, but I can't have an orgasm, plus I get an emotionally "flat" feeling with SSRIs. I don't feel depressed, but I don't feel great either. I don't have either the anorgasmia or the flat feeling with serzone.
However, the one side-effect I do have with serzone is fatigue. Sometimes I can't tell if I'm becoming depressed again (I always sleep a lot when depressed) or if the serzone is causing this effect. I've never taken Effexor.
Also, it's trial and error with any drug you take--unfortunately. What works for me might not work for you and vice versa.
