In reply to lamictal and celexa combo, posted by yvette01826 on October 4, 2004, at 9:12:43
I am on the same combo, but I've titrated up to 175 mgs of Lamictal. I found the zombie (no affect) thing went away when I decreased my Celexa and increased the Lamictal. Here's hoping the effectiveness doesn't fade, this is a winning combo for me. Did you increase your Celexa? If so, that's probably the cause
I have fibromyalgia with chronic fatigue, anxiety, and depression.
