In reply to Wellbutrin + Celexa = apathy exhaustion, posted by Don on February 21, 2000, at 12:52:42
Hey Don, I'm currently on 200 mgs. Wellbutrin twice per day, and 20 mgs. Celexa once per day, and I am not having any problem with excessive fatigue(which has always been a major symptom of my depression). I think that what is making the difference is the 10 mgs. of Adderall(a stimulant for ADD) that I take three times per day. My Pdoc originally prescribed the Adderall because I was having problems with fatigue while on the highest dose of Wellbutrin, which is supposed to be a stimulating anti-depressant. So, you might want to talk to your Doctor about adding a stimulant. Even though they are mostly used for ADHD, my Dr. says that it is quite common to use stimulants to "boost" the effect of anti-depressants. Seems to be working for me. Good luck!CarolAnn
