Serzone, known generically as nefazodone, is an antidepressant drugs from the family of drugs called direct receptor ligands. Serzone was approved for the treatment of depression by the FDA in 1994. The drug’s manufacturer, Bristol-Myers Squibb stopped selling Serzone in the United States as of June 14, 2004, citing poor sales.

Serzone Controversy

In January 2003, Serzone was removed from the European market because it has been linked to 26 deaths from liver damage.

FDA Warning For Serzone

The FDA requires all antidepressant medications to have a "black box" warning about the increased risk of suicide in teenagers and children. But, a black box warning does not prohibit the use of antidepressants in children and teenagers. Serzone was one of the antidepressant drugs required to have a “black box” warning.
