I'm about to change my cocktail from wellbutrin & effexor to wellbutrin & celexa. How's that been working for you?

> I'm on the same cocktail as you now. Today is my first day on it. I have noticed that I feel more calm when I take my Celexa in the morning. Since I have Sexual Compulsion (I guess a form of OCD?) my pdoc says that I should never be without an SSRI in my arsenal. The WellbutrinSR is to combat fatigue and sexual side-effects "apparent."

I've been on 20mg Celexa and 150 Wellbutrin and feel much more balanced, I guess because the meds affect different chemicals in the brain, but I'm not to the point I'd like to be so he suggested that I could up the wellbutrin dose to 150 twice a day, which I think I'm going to try!
