Reply #74: I'm a lifer on antidepressants [View All]

Three strikes and you're out doesn't just apply in baseball and in prison.

I had been on Celexa/Lexapro (almost the same med) for about 5 years. It worked/works great for me except for a little side effect that I didn't want around anymore. So, about 4 months ago, I started Wellbutrin. About three months ago, I figured out I was headed down the rabbit hole again, so I went back to Celexa and am getting better now.

The problem, though, with asking about others experience with Wellbutrin is that all of the SSRI/other antidepressants is that brain chemistry and the way these drugs affect it is so very different among people. Even the side effects can be 180 degrees from one to another.
