Andre, I take Serzone for depression, as an augmentation to effexor xr, and to counter the over-activating aspects of effexor xr (myoclonus, restless legs, insomnia, jitters, etc.). Before serzone, I took a small dose of trazodone to counter the insomnia, etc. from the effexor xr.
The current combo of effexor xr and serzone is a good AD combo for me--good AD effect, and the serzone lessens those activating side effects. I also take Adderall as well as synthroid and cytomel (both are thyroid hormones).
I would think serzone could be substituted for trazodone, but if serzone gave you a rash, that would be a reason not to do it--perhaps you are allergic to it.
Are you working with a psychopharmocologist on all of this? I hope so.
