I've been on Celexa since 2009. Depression started to effect me at work. Would feel like crying for no reason at all and couldn't control it. My dr and I thought it had to do with my age and changes my body was going thru. I realized I had mild depression for long time before that. The Celexa was great for me. I was happier overall. Over time had to increase up to max dose of 40 mg, then my dr added wellbutrin. Now I've tapered off both back to nothing for last 2 wks to prepare to try something new. I wanted to see what it was like to be off. The depression is back and is worse than I remember back in 2009... Its effecting my work more. I'm having crying episodes, can't concentrate on anything and sometimes just feel like im in a trance just numb... I have a virtual appt with my dr this afternoon and will ask her to get me on another SSRI. What I wonder is... Can I try to start over again with Celexa and expect it to work again? I can't find any information about this. I read that after a long period the receptors in the brain may become less sensitive to the medication. If so, if you stay off for a while, will the receptors work back to their original state???

Hello,
I'm certain that your Dr. could answer that question. I have been on 40mg celexa (Anxiety / Panic) for about 5 yrs now, and wellbutrin (energy) 300mg 2 months. Vyvanse has helped me to feel better and be more productive and not as sad and defeated 4-6 hours. God Bless!
