**TL;DR: basically title. Anyone had low energy and/or low desire to do things and could attest from personal experience (not theoretical literature) that it helped with that?**

Hi there. I want to say I have depression but the main concern is my low energy level and/or desire to do things. I’ve been seeing a psychiatrist for depression, anxiety, and insomnia. 

I remember when I first started SSRIs and Wellbutrin I was depressed but something happened in my life that gave me motivation to do things (and no it wasn’t the pills, it was something else that just made me angry with myself and made me want to be better). One of those things included fitness and I heard anti-depressants could make you gain weight (not just through appetite, but hormonally) so I just stopped taking the SSRI and Wellbutrin. Only thing I continued taking was my sleeping pills because I’ve always had insomnia since childhood and those knock me out and kept taking Xanax generic for my anxiety (I had panic attacks at the time).

I’m thinking about trying Citalopram with wellbutrin again. I still have the RX I just stopped taking them (I’ve been off them for I wanna say 2 years so I don’t even remember if it helped my depression or if I had these exact symptoms before. I remember thinking I was depressed but I don’t think I had low energy at the time). 

20mg citalopram once daily and 200mg Wellbutrin generic (twice daily but I’ll probably take once daily). Wellbutrin I read misty to augment SSRI positive effects and negate side effects. 

I’m hoping it’ll give me an energy boost. Idk maybe I am depressed and that’s causing my low energy. I guess my question is: did anyone else suffer from low energy/low desire to do things and tried Citalopram with wellbutrin mix and it helped? P.s. I also tried adderall and Ritalin just to see if it gives me an energy boost and it kinda did but it was a very short window and it stopped working after like a few weeks. I only tried those because I was desperate for that energy boost I need to finish my studies and enjoy life. I have such a hard time doing things unless I have to or trick myself into feeling that I have to in the moment. Hell, I’d probably even try cocaine if it meant I’d get out of this low energy pit...but seriously, thoughts on Citalopram with wellbutrin mix for low energy?
