In reply to Celexa vs. Wellbutrin, posted by pat c. on December 1, 2001, at 8:26:22
Celexa is not just like the others. The SSRI's are all different even though they all block serotonin reuptake (or atleast that's the theory). The only 2 prescription AD's I have taken are Pozac and Celexa. I currently take Celexa. Prozac made me too jittery. Celexa is more calming for me.
