Is her plan to gradually discontinue the Celexa altogether? That would be a good decision I think. Prozac is quite stimulating when you first take it, but the stimulating aspect tends to disappear over the long term, with side effects like anhedonia and lack of motivation becoming much more prominent.
I think you have the right idea, instinctively, in lowering your intake.. I think it would be great for you to see how you are off SSRIs, keeping in mind that it can take as long as two years to get back to the way you were prior to treatment. I also think your idea of a stimulant to help you through this period is an excellent one.
