> Is her plan to gradually discontinue the Celexa altogether? That would be a good decision I think. Prozac is quite stimulating when you first take it, but the stimulating aspect tends to disappear over the long term, with side effects like anhedonia and lack of motivation becoming much more prominent.

> I think you have the right idea, instinctively, in lowering your intake.. I think it would be great for you to see how you are off SSRIs, keeping in mind that it can take as long as two years to get back to the way you were prior to treatment. I also think your idea of a stimulant to help you through this period is an excellent one.I'm entirely sure, but it seems like it. Her main plan was to get me off the Risperdal and I've succeeded in doing that.
For whatever reason, I'm unmotivated when I'm not working and I just mostly want to stay in bed. I don't think pdoc thinks it's Prozac's fault.
Pdoc doesn't want to use Alertec (Modafinil) because I'm sleeping habits/eating habits/going outside habits are highly irregular and she doesn't think a med would solve my problems.
I'm pretty sure she does not want to add more meds at this point.
