I am SO HAPPY that you feel like your depression has ended, Edna!
As for me, I haven't taken the Lex yet - too afraid I'll gain weight again. (I was on Lex for 3 months @ 10mg, then 6 months @20mg and gained 20 lbs., weaned off the Lex and switched to 300mg Wellbutrin SR 5 weeks ago). I started a low carb diet this weekend and have lost 4 lbs. so I'm going to wait on re-adding the Lex til I get thru the 1st 2 weeks of this diet. But then I will HAVE to add the Lex back in cuz I am back to my angry, sad, crying, worthless-feeling self again and it is awful! The Wellbutrin is wonderful for my focus, concentration, motivation, libido etc., but I need the serotonin uptake too.
Good luck to everyone and BIG CHEERS for Edna :-)

Dear All,

> Just so you know, I have just recently felt that my depression has finally gone. After one month of too little celexa, I took four months of Paxil; I then started on 10 mgs of lex 12/15, went to 15mgs 12/29, then to 20mgs on 4/11. For all of you who wonder how long it will take, it takes a while. But it will happen--it happened just after a year of treatment. It doesn't happen overnight, but it will happen.
