> I first originally started taking celexa, then when that stopped working, my doc switched me to lexapro...now the lexapro has seemed to stop working...but im afraid to stop taking it because of the side effects i had when i stopped taking celexa. Has this happened to anyone?
I wouldn't stop taking it without your doctor's help. He could also answer your questions about the side effects. I am on Lex 20 mg and have recently added Wellbutrin to the mix. I have to admit after being on it only a few days I feel remarkably better. This seems to be a popular combo, so there must be something to it. Have you tried other SSRI's like Prozac? From what I understand, some SSRI's are more stimulating than others, and Prozac is one of those. My doc changed me to Lexapro because it is not as stimulating (I started having panic attacks all the time), but maybe its not stimulating enough for you. I hope this makes sense, I barely understand it myself. The best things you can do is talk to your doc, research the meds yourself, and go into therapy if you aren't already. Med's only work up to a certain point, then you have to work on your head. Good luck!
