I've been on 40mg. Celexa +150mg. Wellbutrin for a year and a half. Have had sexual side effects the whole time-although gingko biloba helps and yohimbe REALLY helps (but I quit that because I kept reading that it was very dangerous).
I've gained twenty pounds over the past year, and lately I've been experiencing new side effects-getting worse instead of better-including fatigue, sleepiness,yawning, jaw clenching, memory and recall problems, etc., although emotionally I feel fine-no depression at all.
I'm going to try reducing my dosage of Celexa to 20mg, and I'm going to take it at night instead of in the morning in the hope of reducing side effects (especially the weight gain), and weaning myself off of it alltogether.
Has anyone else had such a late onset of symptoms?Do you suppose that I just no longer NEED such a large dose? And what can I expect to experience as I go off the drug? Withdrawel symptoms?
Thanks for any input that you have.
