Cybercafe -

I'm not sure your case - I have primary SP and secondary dysthymia or mild depression. Klonopin works great for my SP, but has no direct antidepressant effect in my case.

Zoloft and Serzone are not primary choices for me - as they are not robustly effective for SP at least in my case. I think that Serzone can decrease Zoloft induced fatigue and sexual side effects - without necessarily eliminating the antidepressant effect of Zoloft. That is what I experienced, and I have noticed that Serzone is sometimes used for SSRI induced sexual dysfunction. I have found Serzone's effect to be pretty unpredictable - depending on what, if anything it is combined with - varying a lot with dose - and the short half life changing things too. So I really am not much a fan of SErzone overall - I don't think it is very potent anyway by itself - and so I view it as more of an "add on" in the less simple treatment regimens.

If you want to discuss further anytime - feel free to write me - there is a link at the bottom of my website. Good luck to you and thanks for your input on these topics.
