Need Advice

I have been on Celexa for 8 months 20mgs. for the first few months I had the sweats, tight jaw and definitely low sex drive and ability. Now I have none of the symptoms other than the sexual problems and have been flirting with depression. I am also very fatigued. Does this mean the med's are "pooping out". I'm so afraid to taper off for fear that if the depression really came back it would not be effective. On the other hand the depression I've been feeling isn't as strong but hey, I don't want any. I sometimes feel if I could motivate and move around more I'd feel better. I have to force myself to clean house. I feel like I ache so much I don't want to move. So, not sure if I should ask for Adderall perhaps for motivation or should taper off and see what life is like without, need help.

gail, I am on Wellbutrin and Celexa, and I take 10 mgs. Adderall three times per day. I have always suffered from excessive fatigue and so far the Adderall is the only thing that has ever helped. It is not a huge boost of energy, you don't feel some major change, it just feels like a natural ability to get up off the couch(or bed) and get things done. I don't know if it would help your achiness, but it's probably worth a try. CarolAnn
