I was just dx'd with SAD last Tuesday. So I'm now officially inattentive type ADD with SAD. I was just started on Celexa along with Dexedrine. I'm not thrilled to be on an SSRI and would like to hear about sedative and stimulant combinations if there are any...

McH:

I have inattentive ADHD and anxiety. I would really like to know the exact same thing that you are asking. I have heard that Celexa is supposed to help with anxiety, but it is one antidepressant I have not yet tried. How long have you been on it, and how do you like it?

Is this combination working at all. I know you haven't been on it long (since Tuesday last week?) but interested in knowing! Thanks for the post.

I really like it. I like the way it enhances the pleasurability of life about 1000 times more than I like Dexedrine, which I'm quitting. I'm not even sure I believe ADD exists anymore.

Well, heck that is great news! :D :D :D How much are you taking? Let us know how it works as you continue taking it.
