I started 20 mg Celexa about 6 weeks ago (10 mg for 2 weeks prior to that). 4 weeks ago I went to 40 mg and then to 60 mg about a week ago.
Although I feel the lowest-of-the-lows are not as bad as they used to be, I'm not getting significant relief from my depression. My anxiety is still hanging around as well.
I'm waiting for the AD to 'kick-in' as I've heard they can do--hasn't happened yet. Should I wait longer?
I'm thinking of talking to my doc about adding Wellbutrin in the hopes of furthering the antidepressant action of the meds and countering some of this terrible daytime fatigue. Any experience with this sort of thing to share? How much Celexa and how much Wellbutrin do you take? Any other suggestions?
Also, I was wondering if it's okay to take a single daily dose of Wellbutrin SR (100 or 150 mg) in the morning and skip the second dose; I'm concerned it will cause insomnia if I take it late in the day.
I guess I could try another AD such as Effexor or Zoloft and see what happens. I was able to tolerate Celexa (not so with Paxil), so I'm hoping it works instead of having to switch.
What do you think?
Thanks in advance.
