My husband was on Celexa for 18 months for depression/mild anger due to war-related PTSD issues. Celexa helped with the issues, but caused lethargy and sexual dysfunction. He spent a lot of time sleeping, and when he retired and got a job, it was causing issues.
Dr. Fialkov at the VA listened carefully to his problems and said he thought the best course of action was for him to take Wellbutrin XL (budeprion), but that he couldn't get it free from the VA, so let's look at others... I was like: "no, if that's the best in your professional opinion, let's do that."
It was REALLY expensive to switch off Celexa to the Wellbutrin XL. You can't break the tablets for an extended-release product, so the different dosages needed to ramp up to the effective dose of the drug had to be bought as different prescriptions for like seven tablets each. But, it only had to be done once. Yes, this drug is more expensive than others (even in its generic form), but now my husband is awake, and alert, and very much pre-Army Adam. He feels better than he has in a LONG time.
We're not rich, by any stretch, but for something like this, price was definitely not an issue. With anti-depressant drugs especially, people react differently. I was willing to cut the budget somewhere else to pay for this drug. It worked wonders!
