Hey everyone. I have read much. We, all of us with depression and other stuff are so brave. Anyway, I had taken Celexa for about four months with Wellbutrin. I felt great!! I added the wellbutrin after about two months. Then I got tired of the sexual side effects (i.e., inability to have an orgasm [i'm a female])and I was experiencing some significant anxiety at different times so I discontinued the Celexa and added Buspar. I was soooo dizzy!!! Couldn't stand it. Plus, I had like zero energy. As for real world interactions, I functioned optimally with Wellburtrin and Celexa. I've tried other medication before and always discontinued it. Still, though, after four months or so, I could not have an orgasm to save my life. I hate being depressed, irritable, and suicidal though and I am not exactly "with" anyone, so I am going off the buspar and back on the celexa. I am in the midst of a relationship "thing" which could go either way. But for now, sexual side effedts are not really an issue, . . . I guess. Still, I feel abnormal not having a sex drive with an actual achieveable goal (i.e., orgasm). For now I guess it doesn't matter. I hate being depressed with no motivation to do anything or even go on. This medication has been the best combination I have ever been in. I think that I will be creative enough to find a way to compensate for the sexual side effects if/when necessary. Meanwhile, I thank God that I am not as depressed as I was before this medication intervention. I was crying so uncontrollably, my best friend got so frustrated that she started yellin at me to stop cuz I was not even coherent. But, if anyone knows how to counteract the sexual sideeffects of Celexa, PLEASE, let me know.
MLG.
