v,Generally the first mood stabilizer added is lithium, but it does often cause weight gain. I know neurontin makes one less anxious, but I'm not sure if it would be the best to potentiate the serzone to make up for the taking away the effexor. I would probably choose lamictal, but unless your pdoc is familiar with it's use for depression, that may be a tricky request.
So I don't feel comfortable actually recommending any specific mood stabilizer and dosing. Maybe someone else can step in here, with more knowledge of combinations.
