Don't give up hope! There are alot of anti-depressants out and one of them will work for you.
Unless you have anxiety or trouble sleeping, I wouldn't take Serzone. I would try Prozac or Celexa or Zoloft (Zoloft has the least sexual side effects). You take these in the morning and they do give you a boost in energy. If you continue to try Serzone, take it only before bed, so the groggyness can where off by morning. I really like Prozac for depression. You may get headaches when you first take it, but they will go away in a week or so. Start low, like 10 mg a day and increase by 10 mg every 5 days until you feel relief. 20-40 mg should work (I take 60 but I've been on it for 6 years) Dry mouth is a given with almost all anti-depressants, but again, it gets better and is not difficult to tolerate.
