Hi Cam,
No disrespect, but I don't think Serzone blocks 5HT3 receptors. Therefore, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea can still become a problem.
Remeron, on the other hand, blocks both 5HT2 and 5HT3 receptors. Therefore, these properties lead to its anti-anxiety and sleep-enhancing actions, little or no sexual dysfunction, and little or no nausea or diarrhea.
Just my own 2 cents.
