My first med was Prozac. Then it sort of pooped out after a year. I was on 20 mg. I could have increased it to get it to keep working but I have always had anxiety and Prozac was too stimulating for me. Before I quit Prozac I took Wellbutrin with it. Although I didn;t have an eating problem, I think that if I did, Wellbutrin would have helped. From reading posts over the years, people generally seem to like Wellbutrin.

Celexa has been better for me since it has helped both my anxiety and depression. I take 30 mg. Zoloft has an excellent reputation. Good luck with it!

> Yes, very lucky for you, cause if it weren't for the increasing size of my behind, I would really enjoy Celexa. For whatever reason, my pdoc doesn't want to add Wellbutrin, he would rather just switch to a different SSRI. I think if I push him about it, he would prescribe WB, but I said I would try Zoloft first. Was Celexa the first med you tried? Have you been on WB before? Have combinations worked for you? Thanks for the post - take care,

I think that your best choice would be to stay on Celexa since it is working well and add Wellbutrin. That's because if you switch to a different drug than Celexa, the new drug might also cause you to gain weight. Plus, the new drug might not work as well on your depression. Paxil, Remeron, and other drugs also have a weight gain effect on some people.
