"my pcp prescribed serzone for me after i described typical symptoms of depression. as an rn i didn&#039;t want to feel &quot;medicated&quot; &amp; never did. this medicine gave me back  myself. i was on it for about 4 yrs then switched to paxil for about 2 yrs and then taken off all together. i haven&#039;t been on any medicines for depression in 7 yrs as my divorce is long over &amp; i am well healed - amen! i would recommend serzone   regular lab work &amp; doctor&#039;s care. also, talk therapy helps too!"
