Diminishing SSRI effects--what now?

Posted by Rebecca on October 24, 2000, at 19:21:03

I've been taking Celexa since December. At first, it was great, and then I got depressed again, so the dose was increased. This cycle of increase-good results-diminished results-increase has been continuing since then.

The dose was increased to 80 mg in August, and while it was great for a while, my mood is crashing again. I go back to my pdoc in a couple weeks, and he always seems to ask me what I think should be done with meds. it's nice that he respects that I do my research, but I'm stumped on this one.

I don't want another med change--I've been through prozac, zoloft, effexor, and wellbutrin before the celexa, and I don't want to deal with unknown side effects again.

I'm also taking 100 mg seroquel, having tried zyprexa and risperdal.

what would the logical next step be? more celexa?

I thought I was pretty sensitive to medications (I'm really sensitive to alcohol, for example), so I'm surprised to make it up to this high a dose.

Ideas?
