I take Celexa, Lamictal, and Deplin and Zyprexa as needed for anxiety (but I only take 5 or 10 mg of Z. every week to 10 days). I have been feeling a general bad feeling and malaise, even achy all over my body as I've felt before when depressed. I want to ask my pdoc about adding Wellbutrin XL to my meds as this has helped my body pain and complete lack of energy in the past. Anyone take Celexa and Wellbutrin XL together?

Georgie Girl-

My fiance takes Lithium (and now Lamictal and Lexapro) and was on Wellbutrin XL and celexa for a while (added Celexa when the Wellbutrin stopped working after a month and a half)..after 6 wks of celexa in combination w/ Wellbutrin, he sunk into a hole so deep, he had to be hospitalized.

I have a no-vote of confidence for the Celexa/Wellbutrin combo...but naturally that's based on my own experience and everyone's chemicals are different. I do think that Wellbutrin is FDA-approved for treatment of bp (FWIW)...the pdoc who remains the subject of my voodoo doll gave my fiance Wellbutrin. It's "high" wore off pretty quickly.
