> (1) Is it an SSRI?
> ---- Not SSRI, Serzone is a sort 'independent class of AD med.' Very special substance, even among pdocs. there is no formal theory/study about how Serzone works on your chemical. ---> (2) Is it commonly used to treat anxiety?
> --- Both depression and Anxiety. However, a lot of M.I. folks takes Serzone for Anxiety, because Serzone offers a good-night sleep that is very crucial for you to feel well/'alleviate.' ---> (3) Might it treat anxiety (esp. SAD) better than an SSRI? (I read one post of someone who said it completely eliminated her SAD)
> --- It's correct to say that, but 'completely eliminate' might be a bit 'exaggeration,' because Serzone works for both Depression and 'Anxiety.' --- But, ... well, all depends on person to person.
> (4) How are the side effects compared to common SSRI's? (especially sexual s/e's)
>--- No sexual side-effect, so some of people takes Serzone(small dosage, somewhere 100 mg. - 150 mg.) with SSRI. ---
