Rick - SSRIs in general, including Celexa, can lower seizure threshold, but not usually to an appreciable extent and they also do make anxiety worse for the first couple of weeks until your body adjusts to the drug. I have seen Celexa and Wellbutrin used together with no problem. This is still a generalization and Celexa may induce seizures when taken with Wellbutrin, but, unless you are predisposed to seizures, the risk is slight.Further reducing the seizure risk is the fact that Klonopin is an anticonvulsant and raises seizure threshold. You are also taking a low dose of Wellbutrin, so this further reduces the risk of seizure. Ask your doctor for a second opinion on this, as he will know your medical history and I don't.
Hope this helps - Cam W.
