Hi. I've never tried Celexa; just wanted to wish you luck.

I get similar symptoms to yours. They're starting to kick in, now that daylight savings time is over and the sun is down at 5:00 pm here.

>>"I used Effexor last year successfully, but this year it seems to be causing bronchitis?"

Have you seen a doctor about the bronchitis? I've never heard of lung infections being caused by SSRIs.

>>"Welbutrin .... She is also losing weight..."

Glad it's helping her. It's not surprising that she's losing weight, because Wellbutrin calms the craving center of your brain. They sell it under the name of Zyban for smokers trying to quit - it's the exact same drug.

>>"I can't help but wonder if it will only make matters worse because supposedly your body needs carbs to make serotonin which is why carb craving gets so bad in the winter."

AFAIK, it's not that you *need* carbs to produce serotonin, but carbs do trigger it.

Good luck to you, too!
