In reply to MAOi's vs Wellbutrin + SSRI, posted by Optimist on November 30, 2004, at 17:37:57
Hi Optimist, I like your posting name.
I was on Celexa and Wellbutrin before I was diagnosed with atypical depression. Once I got that diagnosis and after some time doing research and soul searching, I got off the SSRI/Wellbutrin and started Nardil at the recommendation of my T. It has been a godsend for me. There was an immediate change in how I felt. The results were much better than any SSRI or combo I've tried. Now admittedly I didn't try them all because MAOI's were "the gold standard" for atypical depression, and I figured why not try what's supposed to work best?
But there is no comparison for me in the differences between the two. I'm not sure I can even quantify the effect from SSRI's now that I know what normal really feels like again.
Good luck whatever you decide.
