My worst experience was when Wellbutrin was added to Celexa. I had uncontrollable and sudden urinary incontinence. Couldn't safely go anywhere. Lost control in Walmart food aisle. Wet my car seat twice on way home from appt with T. Wet pew at church. Had to change clothes 4-5 times a day. Many accidents in kitchen or on sofa watching TV. Imagine the humiliation of having to wear Depends at age 61.

Loss of bladder control is a rare side effect of Celexa (my doc didn't know about it). I had no problems with Celexa alone. Wellbutrin is known to increase side effects from Celexa. It took 6 months to discover the cause of my problem. My OB-GYN prescribed Myrbetriq but didn't help. I finally researched all possible drug interactions at drugs.com and discovered the side effect from Celexa and the interaction with Wellbutrin. I stopped the Celexa with approval of pdoc and the 6-month nightmare went away in two weeks.
