I first tried 150 SR and after one day I knew I couldn't tolerate it.
So I added the 75mg to my Celexa and gradually increased it to 3 x a day, The only thing I really noticed was I was shaking a little and I definately had more energy and less intrest in junk food, And I am seriously considering ditching the Celexa all together.
I was waiting for the new Celexa but I have no idea how long it will take to be approved and I can always go back.
start low and go slow.
