i take "energizing" herb stacks (combinations) before working out which are much the same as the weight loss supplements and i'm also on meds...
the one thing i would surely remember is that as stimulents, they usually have a let-down when they wear off which can make you feel more depressed... and unless you are involved in an intense activity they can also make you feel jittery or anxious
if you take them late in the day, you may end up with sleep problems so its best to only use them in the a.m.
but i don't know whether there are any potential problems combining most of the herbs with your celexa.. and unfortunately you can find data supporting the danger of any herb these days - true or not - particularly by the pharaceutical profession
hope this helps...
