> jpJP, I've been on both Prozac (60 mg/day) and Serzone (450 mg/day). Stopped the Prozac due to inability to climax. Otherwise, it worked OK for a while but then seemed to lose its antidepressant and anti-OCD effect (took it for l0 years!). Have taken Serzone x2, first for three weeks by itself then with Luvox for three weeks; the Luvox was also a bummer in terms of sexual side effects. Tried Zoloft next, with the same inability to climax. Now am back on Serzone 450 mg/day and noticed an antidepressant effect within the first week (I think it takes a high dose to counteract the depression...unfortunately, I don't know if it will have any beneficial effect on the OCD).
