Serzone has benefited me more than any of the other meds of its kind and it has the least amount of side affects. Specifically no weight gain and no sexual dysfunction. It has made me feel better than I have felt in years in spite of everything I have been through. Trish Pennsylvania, USA I took 600mg of Serzone a day for 5 years for Depression. Yes it worked. Now I found out I may have "Fatty Liver!" Beware, there are reports out there that Serzone will destroy your liver, I wish I knew but I didn't. I suppose almost all drugs can hurt our organs. Lois, Arizona, USA I also took 600-800mg of Serzone for about 5 years and found
it worked wonderfully to treat depression. |
