Declan, that's exactly what I was thinking. . .

Hi Declan. I think you're right. I've met a few people here and "in real life" who do well on Celexa, but most people I know who've taken Celexa end up with severe apathy, fatigue and amotivation sooner or later. I'm still very upset that my psychopharmacologist prescribed Celexa for me to add to Dexedrine. I had been stabilized on the same dose of Dexedrine for quite a while when Celexa was added. Within days, I had to DOUBLE my stimulant dose, and I never, ever got the same benefits from Dexedrine again.

I cannot understand why doctors prescribe a highly selective SSRI like Celexa to someone like the original poster, who craves dopaminergic meds!
