I am sorry for all you are dealing with ... you have a lot on your plate.
As for your Serzone concerns, well, a new pdoc that I consulted prescribed Serzone for me, BUT I have decided (at least for now) NOT to switch to it (my a-d right now is EffexorXR) because I have heard almost unanimously that Serzone is very sedating and is more of a sleep aid than an a-d or anything else.
I could be mistaken (hopefully someone more knowledgeable will jump in here to correct me if need be), but I THINK that Serzone is not an SSRI, so it doesn't cause the sexual side effects associated with SSRI's but as I said above, the only *benefit* I gather about Serzone is that it can be a good sleep aid.
Hopefully others who are on it or who have taken it will give you more info.
