switched from Lexapro to Citalopram?

A couple months ago, I switched from Lexapro (10 mg) to Citalopram (20 mg), to save money. They are very similar medications - so the weight gain or loss will probably be about the same between them.

I also take 150 mg of Wellbutrin SR at breakfast and at lunch. There are a lot of people that take Wellbutrin with their SSRI's, it helps to counteract some of the possible side effects - such as drowsiness, weight gain, and the sexual side effects. It really does make a difference!! You might ask your doctor about adding 150 mg Wellbutrin SR for you to take in the morning, it'll help give you more energy and more motivation to do things. With the Wellbutrin SR, you should also be able to drop your Citalopram by a dose.

When I switched to the Citalopram, I kept a few extra Lexapro's - and they helped with the "switch-over" side effects. They weren't major, but I did take two of the Lexapro's, about four days apart.
