Default Wellbutrin PM-Celexa AM...the journey begins!!

Went to the psychiatrist today, and she said -now that the Celexa is well into my system i can start taking Wellbutrin also.

So at night i will take 20mg of celexa, and in the morning i will take 150mg of Wellbutrin. She said it might take up to two weeks to fully kick in.

Hopefully this will help and give me some energy and motivation, unlike the zombie i've been this week.

I joined a gym last week, maybe now i'll actually get out to get there.

The last time i took Wellbutrin it made it easier to stick to a healthier plan, and i lost 37 pounds.................

So the journey begins....................................

God Bless

I so happy for you that you're on a plan. That's exactly what I'm on Celexa and Wellbutrin. It's the best combo I've ever had. I would give the Wellbutrin a little longer than 2 weeks. I saw some difference at 2 weeks but it was a month before I really felt it. Good luck!

Settie,
I"m so glad that you have found something to help you!!!!!!!!!!
if you don't mind me asking a few questions:

How many mg of celexa are you on?
Do you take the celexa in the am or pm?
How many mg of Wellbutrin are on on?
Do you take the Wellbutrin in the am or pm?

Thanks

I'm on 20 mg of Celexa and 300 mg WellbutrinXL. I take them both in the morning. I know some people can be bothered by Wellbutrin and so they take it at night but after the first week or two I wasn't bothered at all and I take all my other pills in the morning so it's just easier. I don't think it really makes a difference.

thanks Settie,

my doctor said that the celexa should help me sleep at night so it was better to take at night.

I hope this will be the answer for me
