Thanks medlib (your name's just fine) and JohnL for your explanations. Actually I'm on Celexa and am now in the position of not being able to stay on the same dose. I was on 60mg at one time and told that was way too much and brought it down to 40. I felt no good on that either. I increased it to 50 and felt good the next day, then that dose pooped out. So I dropped it to 40 and that felt ok for about half a day. For the last week or so I've been on 30 mg and gradually worsened. Last night I decreased to 20 and I feel immediately better this morning. I suspect in a few days I'll have to increase to 30, or perhaps decrease to 10mg. Immediate responses yes, but not ones that last.
I suspect down-regulation of receptors and interference with NE and DA systems. Perhaps the Adrafinil will give me a clue when it arrives. JohnL your mention of immediate response with St John's Wort - I had that, but it didn't last. But I didn't take it for long. I suppose it'll mix with Celexa, I'll try it again anyway.
The best to you all
Fred
