Maria,
I was on Celexa before anything else and it seemed to work somewhat at first, but then died off. Was switched to Effexor XR and got up to 225 mgs of that, which seemed to work for me. Was on that about a year, went off, went back on 6 months later, it was terrible, so I was switched to Paxil & Wellbutrin was added later.
Anyway, I've since switched docs twice & my new pdoc, who seems much much sharper than the previous two (!) has taken me off Paxil & put me back on Celexa. He said that since I had shown an initial response to Celexa but it had died after that, that I probably never got up to a therapeutic dose, and that he may move me up to 60 or 80 mgs. In addition, he felt that the Wellbutrin was a good augmentor for Celexa. And Wellbutrin helps with any sexual side effects the Celexa might cause.
