I was on Celexa for a year and a half and did very well on it. It really gave me myself back. But I stopped taking it because it made me gain weight, which in and of itself was really depressing. The whole time I was on it, I exercised like a fiend and didn't eat that much. But it dramatically increased my craving for carbs, so I blew up like a mini whale, no matter how much I exercised. I've been off of it for more than a year, and still exercise like mad. But I cannot lose the weight. So I decided to go on Wellbutrin (I am on the name brand, FYI, because of the horror stories surrounding the generics), which is supposed to have the opposite effect. I have been on it for two weeks. I started at 150, then increased to 300 mgs. today, per my health care practitioner's directive. I would like to know others' opinions of this drug. I frankly feel very anxious, spacey and just plain weird. Does this eventually go away?
I was also thinking about maybe supplementing this with a low dose of Celexa, which I really did like. This is a common combination, and is safe when taken together. Has anyone tried a similar combo? Did this keep the weight gain in check?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
