In reply to Celexa and no energy - INFO NEEDED!, posted by Meri-Tuuli on June 28, 2005, at 6:11:56
When I took Celexa by itself (40 mg) it made me tired. But when I added Concerta (a form of Ritalin) that helped a lot. I was then able to lower the Lexapro to my current dose of 20 mg. I also take 72 mg Concerta and do not get tired.
Another option is to add Modafinil.
> I would really like to find out how Celexa (cipramil) effects energy levels. I have been constantly tired and can sleep anytime and I have no motivation whatsoever. At first, I just thought that this might just be a 'phase' and it was just me, but increasingly I am begining to suspect that it might relate to the 20mg of Celexa I am taking.

> Would appreciate any thoughts on this.....please! I am getting desperate. Any suggestions on which SSRI NARI might be good to address the motivation - I was thinking of trying reboxetine/edronax (I live in the UK)
