Harry,
Aren't you tapering off the Serzone? Just think the next medication you try may very well do the trick for you; you must hold on to hope. I am always amazed at the success stories of people who have been terribly depressed for many years, and all of a sudden they find the right medication to restore them to themselves again. That seems to be our only hope and we must keep trying. Until that day comes, we have each other to lean on. I know how frustrating it is. I want to be a success story *NOW*, and I don't want to keep trying medication. But..... if we hang in there, the answer has to be getting closer through trial and error. Please keep trying, and know that you are in my prayers.
