Thank you all for your wonderful and intelligent responses. I forced myself to continue with the Serzone, taking the majority at bedtime. I've worked up to 300 mg a day and the sedation has magically disappeared. I've even had significant improvements sexually.
Now, for the down side :-( I'm having horrible short-term memory problems and some vision problems. When I scroll down on my computer screen, I have to look away because the moving words hurt to look at and my vision seems a litle blurry. To top it all off, my depressive symptoms have only resolved about 50%. Much less effective than Prozac. At this point, I'm going to continue with Serzone and hope that the remaining side effects diminish and my mood improves. I would like to hear from others who experienced memory problems with serzone. Did this side effect go away in time? Thanks again> I take all 500 mg. at night because of the sedation. It helps me sleep and the sedation wears off by morning.
