> Excuse me but you're repeating yourself. You use the expression gold standard very often. That might sound paranoid but do you work for Eli Lilly or something?
You're right, I do repeat a lot. But I only stick to repeating the things that have worked well for a lot of people. That's all. I narrow the universe down to the best odds for success. No guarantees of course, but good odds. Repetition is not such a bad thing, because not everyone looks at every post. And there are new people coming and going all the time. I wish I did work for Eli Lilly, I would probably make more money than my current job. :-)

I am on 20mg of Celexa, which helps with the depression somewhat but makes me tired and I just feel that I need a little bit more of something, I got even more tired when we uped the dose to 40mgs. Also I tried Wellbutrin 150 with the celexa but got the crazy itching side effect (weirdest thing ever to experience!) So now my psychiatrist is going to suggest something else but I want something that will give me some get up and go plus not let me gain any weight or better yet lose weight, I gained 50+ lbs with the celexa.
