John, thanks for the advice. I will look for that book.
My concerns about depakote, neurontin, lithium, etc. is what I read about serious adverse effects, both here in "babble" and in the drug info I have looked up online. My concern about the MAOIs, which my doctor has also suggested, is the restrictions, not so much the food, but the inability to use decongestant meds if I have a cold. The reason is that I have sleep apnea and cannot sleep without using the nasal CPAP machine. If my nose is stuffed I cannot breathe or sleep at all. Since I am so relieved to have finally gotten the sleep apnea problem under control, I can't bear the idea of putting that at risk.
At the moment, I think I am going to give this serzone a little more time before making another med change.
Thanks.
