How has that cocktail been working for you? I've been on zoloft, zoloft w/ elavil, prozac, st. john's wort, wellbutrin, and for the past several months - 400 mg wellbutrin and 225 mg effexor, with an occassional ritalin for an energy boost. Like everything else I've tried in the past, the current mix seems to have lost its effectiveness after several months. my dr. now suggests tapering off on the effexor and switching to the celexor with the wellbutrin. i wanted to know how you're doing on that.

> I started out on Celexa but after a year and a half I wasn't feeling that great any more so I went to a psyciatrist (spelling?) and he suggessted adding Wellbutrin. I've been on 20mg Celexa and 150 Wellbutrin and feel much more balanced, I guess because the meds affect different chemicals in the brain, but I'm not to the point I'd like to be so he suggested that I could up the wellbutrin dose to 150 twice a day, which I think I'm going to try!
