After being on 20 mg. of Celexa for two months I am still tired late in the afternoon. My doctor wants me to stay on the 20 mg. so cutting back is out of the question. I s there anything natural I can take to aid in the afternoon sleepiness?
Thanks,
Gene

Were you tired in the afternoons *before* the Celexa, or only since starting it?

I don't know about natural stuff, but I found that adding a low dose of Wellbutrin helped with the celexa sleepiness.

The tiredness should go away on it own.

Cherry Coke! That's what gives me my energy burst. I take 40 mg Celexa.
