Okay, my diagnosis is schizophrenia, depression and narcolepsy. I take Clozaril, Prolixin, Effexor, Celexa and Provigil... all generic. My first question is: Do you see any problem with this particular cocktail? The second one is: What might be a better SSRI than the Celexa? I'm having problems with depression and motivation and I don't think the Celexa is doing it for me. My appointment with the pdoc is in three weeks. Thanks in advance.

How severe is your schizzophrenia. And are the clozaril and prolixin working well for you?

Taking Effexor and Celexa together seems redundant, as they are both SRI's
It might make more sense to take an SSRI (Zoloft or lexapro are probably the best choices) along with Welbutrin, so that you are hitting seretonin, noradrenalin and dopamine - this combination would likely be more effective than Effexor plus Celexa.
