I have a question about dose amounts. I have had some success losing weight with a self administered phe-pro program. After some adjusting, I found taking phentermine and 20 mg of celexa each morning allows me to stay on my food plan. Unfortunately, the combination makes me drowsy. Information from a posting found on this forum leads me to believe that I should switch to Effexor for the antidepressant instead of Celexa. Here’s my question. What amount of Effexor would work like 20mg of Celexa. The Effexor comes in 75 mg tablets. My instinct is to try starting with ½ tab of Effexor in-place  of the 20mg Celexa. I would appreciate any input from people with experience switching the antidepressant component of the program. Don’t bother telling me to ask my doctor. That option is not available.
