> There are numerous tca's which target the norepinephrine system. Also a low dose of a dopamine agonist may be helpful. Personally I would lower the dose of celexa to no more than 10mg and keep trying with the wellbutrin, but maybe add a small dose of a dopamine agonist. Other things to try would include stimulants, but how sustainable that method would be is questionable. I have suffered the same problem on celexa and have quit the drug and am trying to get my motivation back, today I am starting reboxetine an nri, its not available in the us though. You might fair better on a tca, although the side effects could prove problematic. but 30mg of celexa will probably not improve things, I would definately drop the dose.

Thanks for your very informative opinion. I appreciate it.
