Maybe you could add Adderal to the Celexa. I'm not so sure that stopping Celexa would be a good idea due to the fact that it has worked well for your depression.
Lexapro is the new version of Celexa which should be available in the US next month. It is just as effective as Celexa but with less side effects. For example, it causes less drowsiness.
> I have been taking 60mg of Celexa for about 4 months. The Celexa has lifted my serious depression quite nicely. However, Celexa has agrivated by ADD symptoms a lot AND I am tired and apathetic and unmotivated most of the time. I feel like 2 steps forward and 1 step backward. Nice but not good enough.
