Ya, John is right: Serzone is not a classic SSRI, as I said first, but mostly works on serotonin than on norepinephrine. It's pretty complicated to explane how it works in few words. It comes from TRITTICO (developed by an Italian pharmaceytical called Angelini). It's used also for sleep disorders but can cause priapism (not in your case I gess....). A good review is found in dr. bob's antidepressant update.
