> Zoloft with Serzone 100-150mg. Hi, I have OCD and I tried serzone, highest I got to was 225 mg. I guess I could have gone higher, but all the posts I read, as well as my psychiatrist, that serzone has absolutely no effect on OCD, so I backed it down to 150 and tried Kava Kava, no effect still. So, I am now taking zoloft 50 mg and gradually increasing. Doc said I should completely eliminate the serzone. I am really worried about my sex drive going so I think I am going to keep taking the serzone at 100mg. What do you think of that combo?
Well, I don't have much to say. I think that you should focus on one SSRI, say Zoloft. Take the dose as high as possible so your OCD symptoms diminish. Some people need doses higher than 200mg. Don't hesitate to try.
Concerning the side effects, your best bet would be to add Remeron when you do get the side effects. It is considered the best solution for SSRI induced sexual dysfunction.
All the best,
Jimmy
