> Serzone + SSRI is supposed to be a good combination when dealing with a situation in which depression and OCD occur together.
I agree with the statement above, I have only seen real improvement in my own depression by combining meds, the biggies being Amitriptyline and Nefazodone (Serzone); the concern was the fact that her doc said he wanted to counteract the possible "Serotonin Syndrome" by adding Serzone.
That is what disturbs me, the doc thinking that she may be building a case of serotonin syndrome. Unless she misunderstood the doc's explanation, which I myself have done, then this treatment protocol, as designed by the doc is kinda frightening to me.
