It's the dreaded CYP450 -2C19 that causes all my bad side effects!! I found this out after following an interesting thread here a few months ago.
-- I had forgotten about that thread. Thanks for reminding me! I will re-read the posts for information.
> As Zeugma says, Provigil will probably enhance the action of Celexa, if you're metabolizing Celexa OK. (Like no side effects, and a therapeutic effect at "usual" dosage").
-- As far as I can tell, I am metabolizing Celexa ok. I had the usual start-up side effects, but those went away after a few weeks. And, it seems to be somewhat helpful with anxiety and ruminating thoughts.
> Below is a useful link to a cyp450 table and various drug/food interactions and genetic deficiencies. So you can check them out. Unfortunately, it's a little out of date, so Citalopram and Provigil are not listed, but there's good info there anyway.
-- Thanks for the link. I'll have a look at it. I'm trying to myself better informed about these things.
> Good wishes to you as well!
