> I have been taking Celexa for ten years. For the last three or so years I have been _extremely_ tired and sleepy (which was not my baseline pattern). This made me lose the will to live (though I was not suicidal---just waiting to die). Now, Wellbutrin has been added and I feel "normal". That made me think: maybe SSRI's somehow reduce dopamine levels/sensitivity...and so a google search brought me to this site and thread.
>I think you may be awfulizing. A more straightforward explanation for what happened is that the Celexa pooped out on you and your depression returned. The same thing happened to me (poop out), and rather than continue to take Celexa, I have switched to all new meds and I am feeling better (after a grueling 3 months of trial and error).
