> Bupropion would only take me so far. A feeling of un-depressed, but definitely not happy. Maybe the Celexa will take care of that?
> The "flatness" was not nearly as bad as some of the mood stabilizers I have tried. I would be concerned about the lithium you are taking. That is Lithium's job, to induce flatness.

> Best of luck to you!Not sure what other choices I would have. I have tried Lamictal (it was the 1st drug we tried) but unfortunately I had the scary reaction to it. I do need a mood stabilizer of some sort...but yes, I definitely feel the flatness and lack of empathy from the lithium. This blah flatness certainly doesn't help out the mostly constant low/mod level depression. I was hoping that Celexa would battle that part out a bit. Thought about Adderall, but even at 2.5mg IR I go manic...the up for days on end kind, I'll FIND something, anything, to paint and paint all of the walls in my apartment until I am satisfied with the colors and quality (last time it took 20 color samples to do the job right); or I get a wild hare to start a new business and am up all hours writing down plans and ideas, or I spend money....SO I think that's out LOL
