About a decade ago, it was put into a kind of limbo -- last I heard, it was still available, but with very, very strong recommendations to use it only in those patients who were already doing well on it and hadn't responded to alternative medications. Serzone came with a high risk of very serious liver damage, and probably won't be offered to you by any doctor out there. You can ask your doctor about it, but be prepared to be told that it's not on the table.

Generic nefazodone is available, but brand name Serzone is not.
Quoting wikipedia, "On May 20, 2004, Bristol-Myers Squibb discontinued the sale of Serzone in the United States and Canada. Several generic formulations of nefazodone are still available."
