In reply to From Celexa to? Effexor or Moclobomide, posted by XaosSurfer on May 7, 2002, at 19:47:42
I don't know anything about moclobemide, but if sedation, apathy, and the blahs are problems already, my experience with Effexor (yikes! don't everyone attack me!) was that it made me not want to get off the couch for the month I was on it. I had absolutely no motivation at all...
just IMHO...
best of luck,
Wendy> 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.
