> > I'm leaving celexa and going on wellbutrin right now. I am down to 40 mg of celexa from 60 mg, and am on 100 mg of Wellbutrin. I noticed when I was talking to friends at dinner last night that I could not concentrate on what they were saying. When I realized I didn't know what they were talking about I tried again to consciously concentrate. I just couldn't seem to! I got lost again. I am wondering if anyone else has had similar effects. I am also on Buspar 60 mg but have not been this bad. My mind wanders quickly without even realizing it. I hope it stops soon!

Let me know how it works for you - I'm curious since I was thinking about it myself because it does not cause weight gain. I'd love to know it it makes you more sociable like Celexa does and less obsessive and more calm.

> Thanks. Best of luck.Hello Lizzy & Gladys,
I was on Celexa some time ago and it does make you more
sociable. What other positive or negative side effects
have you had from Celexa. I take Wellbutrin 150mg
per day and will increase to another 100mg starting
tomorrow. I will say I miss the social part of celexa.
I truly do. Wellbutrin does not do that for me, but
it motivates me and helps me focus much more and I
think clearer on it somehow. Celexa was wonderful
with its ability to help me overcome my social
ineptness or social phobia. Have you gained much
weight from celexa? I don't recall huge weight gain.
Loved those carbohydrates though, but struggled to
lose any weight I may have wanted to. I am just curious
what and how you feel about it. Wellbutrin is not
a drug to make one calm, at least not me.I hope I did not interfere with the thread. Apologies
if I have done so,, but the celexa stuff has been
on my mind for 2 days now and maybe it won't be
so bad if I take it with Wellbutrin.If you care to share your thoughts I would greatly appreciate
them.Thanks,
Jacquie
