Hi:
Since you've been on 'Two' SSRIs, Effexor and Celexa, the latter might have 'killed' the former, Effexor.I have a very similar experience, ... not ADs, but 'mood-stabilizers.' About one and a half year, I was just on Depakote, 750 mg. - 1250 mg. depending on my 'mood-swings.' However, after 'New' introduction Lithium due to 'mood-swings,' practically the Litium started to 'over-power' Depakote, like saying 'I'm a boss,' ... 'get out here'to the Depakote's existence. Then, I was just on Lithium after awhile. However, a month or two on Lithium alone, my mood-swings started to deteriorate. Due to 'urgency,' I switched a more competent pdoc., current one, and he rxed more potent med., 'Zyprexa.' Zyprexa made me 'Wonder' on my condition.
However, my expereicne is purely Bp, Mood-Stabilizers, then I can hardly tell that your case might have some similarity to the experience I had in the past.In my personal suggestion/opinion, just 'watch out' your moods/depression every day more carefully. If you need just one AD, 'Celexa,' then I guess that is 'GREAT.'
