Thanks so much Fred. That sounds encouraging! Dynamic sounds wonderful :-) I was always a high energy, enthusiastic person until this second depression hit me almost a year ago, and it has been relentless. I would love to feel dynamic again. I, too, am on Celexa (30 mg). So, I may try the L-Tyrosine if the nausea I am experiencing on Provigil continues to the degree it is now. I don't want to give up yet though. It's just nice to know that someone else on Celexa has had good results by augmenting with L-Tyrosine.
Take good care.

> Hi TamaraJ I was on 40 mg of Celexa (Citalopram or Cipramil) a day. I cut it back to 20mg because of the tiredness and restlessness, anhedonia and lack of motivation. I was on this regime for weeks and when all the Christmas stress was over my mood did improve greatly. I then did the Tyrosine thing and was surprised to notice that I became motivated (even dynamic!). This may have happened anyway of course as I couldn't replicate myself and administer a placebo. I also take Lithium and Xanax (not much now). However about once a week I crash at 8pm and fall into a sweet sleep that lasts 12 hours. I don't understand what that's about.
