The same experience happened to me. I was on celexa (40mgs) for several years and felt flat. I went off and tried to use supplements and amino acids, and exercise for mood, but after a couple of months, I was really depressed and anxious. I went back on celexa but 20 mgs and it's been a year now and I seem to be doing well. I try to get about 30 minutes of exercise a day (mostly walking). Maybe you can try that? Best wishes.
