In reply to A very interesting article re: SSRI long term use, posted by addinbc on March 23, 2006, at 4:18:11
It certainly is an interesting article.
Exactly describes me too, after a year on celexa. And I thought that the apathy, tiredness etc were just a side effect of celexa!!
I guess thats way the MAOIs are so effective. And people augumenting their SSRIs etc with other agents.
I've tried reboxetine - its pretty powerful stuff. It was pretty good, didn't touch the mood, but helped with concentration and things like that. It made me slightly nutty according to my friends. But I stopped because it must of affected my hormones somehow - my periods completely stopped and I got bad acne. It also made my heart beat more intense/quicker. I didn't get panic attacks at all. Which was a definate plus. Good luck!
So according to that article, a multi neurotransmitter approach works best (and makes sense!)
I wonder what the combination of celexa, reboxetine and wellbutrin would be like? Or effexor + wellbutrin?? I suppose alot of people (well in the states anyway!) augument their SSRIs with a stimluant..... which maybe one way of doing it.....
Hmmm interesting.
