Celexa and weight gain

Will augmenting Celexa (20 mg) with Wellbutrin help to stop the weight gain I am experiencing from the Celexa?

I actually thought weight gain was more of a side effect of Wellbutrin...I didn't know celexa caused weight gain (I've been on it about five years now). I've gained weight but I believe this is b/c I'm sedentary much of the time.

Celexa made me gain over 60lbs in one year and 4 months.  It is a nightmare.  I also have no sex drive even after I stopped taking it.  It made me eat less-so it wasn't like I was stuffing my face to cause the weight gain.  It made me tired all of the time.

I was on maximum dose Wellbutrin while on Celexa and it made no difference.  Gained 30+lbs in 3 months and it is almost impossible to lose.  Wellbutrin is said to increase energy (some if you aren't on sedative antidepressants) but Celexa is used to treat anorexia and bulimia.  It reacts differently with each individual. If you are on it, and gain 10lbs in a month-2months I would reconsider.  Good Luck.
