---------------------------------------Dear Ms. Kingfish:
I am BP II and doing very well on 600 mg/day Lithobid, 100 mg/day Wellbutrin, and 10 mg/day Paxil. I would like to be able to increase the dose of my SSRI (Paxil in my case, Celexa in yours) because at my current low dose I am somewhat "anal" and somewhat irritable. At 20 mg/day of Paxil I am not anal nor irritable at all, however, I lose almost all of my motivation, energy, and enthusiasm. Further, I want to sleep most of the day. I may try 15 mg/day to see what happens.
In your case, could your sedation problem be due to too much Celexa? I, of course, have no idea. I'm just throwing out the question for you.
-- Ron
