Recently after 4 weeks on Celexa, for social anxiety/innsomnia (20 mgs) I experienced
inability to orgasm. Mr Doc then added 100 mg's of Wellbutrin SR to the mix. That did not help.
So then I was taken completely of Celexa and placed 200 mgs Wellbutrin SR and Ativan
To me this makes no sense. Wellbutrin increases my insomnia and anxiety. Why take an
agent like wellbutrin which acts as a CNS stimulant and then be forced to
take Ativan to the edge off?? I welcome any feedback/comments.

Well, why did you agree to it if "it makes no sense" to you? You are supposed to work with your doctor not merely obey them. That might work in other fields but psychiatry is built on a collaboration between doctor and patient. If your doctor has an ego problem and likes to tell give his patients orders, then get another one.
