>why did you go off celexa? did it just stop working? If so, there are so many different augmentation strategies that can get antidepressants to work. I wouldn't say that if you've experienced that once, it'll you'll probably experience that again.

I went off Celexa because I was getting Celexa samples from my pdoc (I couldn't afford it at the time..) so when Lexapro appeared in the market, my doctor stopped receiving Celexa and received Lexapro instead. So he decided to switch me because Lexapro was a version of Celexa, but "better."

Unfortunately, after 2 weeks on Lexapro, my depression was back and worse than ever. I immediately tried going back to Celexa, but it would not work anymore. I continued on Celexa for another 2-3 years with mild results (30-40% relief, as opposed to 80-90% initial relief.)

That's the sad story and has never repeated in the last 7 years.

I have tried taking a few things with Celexa (Abilify, stimulants, thyroid med, etc..) and nothing. So I decided to try Nardil--but in 4 years couldn't find an MD that would be willing to prescribe it. Till now.
