Also, if citalopram is responsibe for reducing your energy and motivation, nortriptyline might not be adequate to ofset this. On the other hand, combining nortriptyline with citalopram could have a good antidepressant effect, it is a logical combination. In general, nort causes less dizziness and hypotension than clomipramine.

Thanks Ed. I am actually leaning towards Provigil as an augmenter to Celexa, which I believe works on both norepinephrine and dopamine (but I am not too sure about how it works), with Xanax as needed for anxiety, if my pdoc agrees. What do you think of that combo? Would that help me get my energy and motivation back?(Sorry Jerry. This is my last question. I apologize profusely for momentarily highjacking your thread with my self-centered questions. Hope you get some solid suggestions to take to your pdoc. Good luck to you.)
