Check out my post on Pindolol, Buspar, Lithium, Thyroid...just a few posts before this one. Serzone+Pindolol may work where serzone alone didn't (I saw a study that had 90% success rate with this). Same with Wellbutrin, according to a few doctor reports. Buspar can make it possible to take sub-standard doses of Prozac or whatever. Sometimes the problem is too many choices. On the other hand, it's nice there are so many. You aren't anywhere near exhausting other approaches. Best wishes for your depression and a delightful love life. JohnL
