Carolyn,
I wondered the same thing...was it the drug or just
my depression. I've come to the conclusion that, for
me, it was probably the drug. My depression dosen't
usually have that sharp rage edge to it that it did
with Serzone, it's usually mostly tears and saddness.
I wrote a post earlier, while I was taking it, and
someone posted to me that in a small percentage of
users it stimulates some sort of receptor that is
responsible for hostility.
Someone else wrote me that if it's augmented with
pinnadol, it can help depression more. I still think
about trying that sometime. I experimented for
10 months with different things (celexa, serzone, wellbutrin),
nothing really worked...I slipped back into depression.
So FOR NOW, I'm taking a break from experimenting
and taking good ole prozac, which has always worked
well for me. It DOES have the sexual side effects
though. I'm just going to grit my teeth and bear
that aspect until I'm ready to resume experimenting
again. I see a pharmacologist in a few weeks about
this sex issue. I'll pass on whatever I learn...
