Yes-- it works very well as an anti-depressant. It took longer to work (3 weeks) than other
meds I have taken. I did just go off of it because of the sexual side effects. I have read
contradictory things about this side effect and effexor. Many sites say it has less side effects
than other meds, but occasionally you will see a site that comes right out and says effexor is
ONE OF THE WORST for sexual side effects. I will say this, it was no "romantic" picnic for
me LOL--Serzone has NO sexual se's that I have experienced--now I am just crossing my
fingers and hoping to heck it works well as an antidepressant. (something really needs to be
done about these horrible sexual side effects--a choice between being sexually
Dysfunctional (capital D!} and depressed is a terrible choice. Either way you can be
miserable. Freud said health is the ability to love and work. He didn't say one was MORE
important than the other!
