In reply to How would you compare CELEXA to SERZONE... ????, posted by Milena on January 5, 2002, at 11:18:09
> Has anyone ever been on Celexa at one time and Serzone another? I'm on 60mg of celexa now and I'm gaining weight, and have sexual side effects as well. I heard that with Serzone there is no weight gain and no sexual side effects, but how is it compared to celexa for social phobia? Is it better/worse??

> Thanx,
>Hi Milena, as far as antidepressants go in the end when its all said and done, one AD is as good as another. Serzone isnt really anymore effective than Celexa. However Serzone does have a good side effect profile. Serzone is a good antidepressant for agitated depression or for depression mixed with significant anxiety. Its also good for sleep. Serzone does not interfere with sleep architecture very much, whereas SSRIs like Celexa do.
And yes it is true that Serzone is free of sexual side effects and doesnt usually cause bad weight gain.
