In reply to Celexa, posted by Nanci on August 18, 2000, at 21:29:11
I was on Celexa for about 5 weeks and I could have sworn that It did nothing for me, so I stopped. Recently I saw a psychopharm and he put me on Wellbutrin. After a week I hit the bottom (see my post above). As we were talking recently it occured to me that the Celexa was helping and I didn't even realize it (didn't feel guilty all the time, somewhat at ease in social situations, etc). The problem was that it didn't help with depression (I was still sleeping all day, felt a sense of hopelessness, no motivation). I have since added 20mg of Celexa to the 100mg Wellbutrin. It may be too early to tell but I feel better already. I have the benefits of Celexa with the added energy of Wellbutrin. I'm not fully where I want to be, but believe me it is a huge improvement (I don't feel the urge to take naps during the day and I look forward to getting up and doing something in the morning). Last Saturday I was thinking suicide was the only way out.My point is that the Wellbutrin + Celexa combo seems to be the way for you to go (Search this board for Wellbutrin and Celexa and you can get more info). Hope this is of some help.
