Congratulations on the weight loss! I tried Celexa, and it worked great on anxiety. I had to discontinue it when I had eye surgery (dry eyes), and didn't continue taking it thereafter, so I don't know whether or not I would have gained weight. I'm certain this subject has been discussed before, so if you go to the top and do a search of Celexa, you'll find oodles and oodles of posts!

I think maybe the combo of Celexa and Wellbutrin is keeping your weight down. If you exercise I expect that you'll lose the rest of it. My sister is on Paxil and she's almost 300 lbs. now. It's sad, but she feels so much better since she started taking it.

> I gained 35 lbs when I was taking paxil. When I switched to wellbutrin I losted 20 lbs over two months. Unfortunately, wellbutrin alone was insufficient to counter my depression so I started taking celexa in addition. Since then I haven't lost any weight, but I haven't gained any weight. I moved over this period, so I haven't been able to excercise as much as I'd like, so I may be able to lose some more weight once I start excercising regularly again. Even if I don't lose any further weight, the fact that my weight has been stable for over four months is fabulous. The combination of wellbutrin and celexa has made a tremendous difference for me. My energy level is much better than it ever was when I was taking paxil and I like not having to watch everything that I eat all the time.
