> Hi All- I take 60 mg of Celexa and 2.5 mg klonopin. I was recently diagnosed as having Celiac's disease so I cannot tolerate wheat, rye, barley or oats (gluten). Unfortunately Wellbutrin has gluten in it and makes me very sick.

> I stopped it about a month ago. I really liked the energy and pleasure it gave me- I'm starting to feel sad and unmotivated. So, I'm wondering if anyone knows of something to augment SSRI's and klonopin that will give me back some of that zip. Even when I was really physically sick, the Wellbutrin gave me enough zip to get through the day. thanks, Bwow, i didnt realize wellbutrin had wheat in it - are you sure? what form? the generic too? i too am allergic to wheat and take wellbutrin.
unfortunately wellbutrin is a norepinephrine/dopamine reuptake inhibitor and, as such, at least in the states, is in a class by itself.
have you looked into strattera - a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor? or perhaps one of the stimulants?
im interested in looking into the dopamine agonists and combining that perhaps with strattera to custom tailor the norepinephrine and dopmaine tweaking.
good luck on this crazy f*cking med-go-round
