If it were a draw for an antidepressant with less sexual SE's besides Wellbutrin, is Serzone or Remeron any good for GAD and,or SAD?

I have herad that Remeron has _positive_ effects on sexual dyfunction, unfortunately was not able to take it personally because of severe akathisia S/E.
In my experience in long-term therapy on Serzone, there were no obvious immediate sexual S/E at up to 400 mg/day, however I have come to believe that it has _some_ negative effects in long-term therapy.
In 9 years or so mostly on Serzone I have certainly experienced long-term sexual dsyfunction out of proportion to my age (57), possibly aggravated by other drugs, and somewhat helped by DHEA and vitamin/mineral supplements; since stopping Serzone about 2 months ago, I believe there has been some improvement in this condition. I want to emphasize the effect is minor, esp. compared to common SSRI's, but worth considering.

Remeron usually "puts me in the mood" 20 minutes after taking it. It's great to take right before bed.
