I use Serzone myself as part of a med combo for non-depressive social anxiety, and the info I've dug up re alcohol and seizure risk seems pretty consistent, specifically:
Serzone has no chemical interaction with alcohol. While most AD's (except MAOI's) can lower the seizure threshold to some degree, Serzone has rarely been associated with seizure risk. So it should not have an appreciable additive effect on the increased seizure risk that comes from from heavy drinking or a sudden change in drinking habits.
> Hey I was just wondering if you knew anything about serzone + alcohol's affects? Does it lower the seizure threshold (considerably?)
