> > > I had one pdoc that (when SSRI's were switched), would want me off the one I was switching from for one week. But, the main reason was to not confuse the effects of the old with the new one. I don't think you have to wait-because your receptors would already be down-regulated (changed), by the previous med (I would think anyhow). Let me guess.. You switched from Effexor to something else and the something else is not doing very well??

hmmm... that sounds good. what is the benefit of using buspar rather than additional celexa?

i'm actually going to be raising my dose to 60 mg :)

dude ritalin celexa zyprexa ativan might actually work for me..... which means, i might become rich and be able to throw lavish parties for all my bipolar friends

oooh i can't wait
