Hmmm ... you're on both Wellbutrin and just started Effexor. Well, from my experience with both of those, they are both quite activating, so you may need just low doses of each.
I've tried Celexa several times and this time is the first that it is showing promise! (knock on wood).
How bad was the poop out? TERRIBLE, I went waaaaaaaaaaay down. The first thing the pdoc did (cuz it worked in the past when I had minor dips) was to increase the dose of Paxil, but it did nothing. So we realized it had to have pooped out (I was on it for about 10-11 years)
If I recall correctly, the pdoc tapered me off the Paxil (way too fast, Paxil is known for HORRIBLE, SEVERE withdrawal because it has a short half-life) and was titrating me up on Celexa at the same time.
For some odd reason, back then, the Celexa did not seem to be doing anything but making me very foggy brained, so she then switched me to Effexor but I could not remain stabilized on it.
Hope this answers your questions and thanks for your info too!
