WHAT ABOUT BPD TREATMENT USING LEXAPRO WELLBUTRIN OR CYMBALTA? What About BPD Treatment Using Lexapro Wellbutrin or Cymbalta? Question: What About BPD Treatment Using Lexapro Wellbutrin or Cymbalta? Dr. Heller’s Answer: Lexapro is in the SSRI class.  It’s a form of Celexa (citalopram).  Clearly increasing serotonin has some benefits for the BPD, as all SSRI’s help to some degree.  The uniqueness of Prozac (fluoxetine) is likely due to its effects on the brain’s glial cells.  While the other SSRI’s occasionally work as well as Prozac (fluoxetine), it’s uncommon.  For most individuals with the BPD, Lexapro (escitalopram) is more expensive and less effective than Prozac (fluoxetine).  At the right dose, Prozac (fluoxetine) eliminates unprovoked mood swings, chronic anger and irritability, emptiness, and inappropriate boredom.  It also dramatically reduces rejection sensitivity and chronic unhappiness.  All SSRI antidepressants can worsen the cognitive generalized anxiety disorder if it is present.  They can also cause difficulty with orgasms, although this is usually treatable.  Lexapro causes this side effect less often. Wellbutrin (buproprion) appears to work by increasing dopamine and noradrenaline.  It can be very stimulating and can help with ADHD and the “blah’s” (particularly those caused by SSRI medications).  It can make the cognitive generalized anxiety disorder worse.  Without first treating the BPD, Wellbutrin (buproprion) often increases the frequency and severity of BPD dysphoria (anxiety, rage, depression and despair) episodes – presumably by increasing limbic system dopamine levels.  It’s a great medication for the right person, and it can extraordinarily helpful for orgasms and/or the “blahs’s” that can be caused by SSRI medications when taken in combination with the SSRI medication. Cymbalta is a newer antidepressant that seems to affect both serotonin and noradrenaline. It’s marketed for helping reduce diabetic neuropathy pain.  Overall I’ve been disappointed in it.  Cymbalta does work for some individuals, with or without the BPD, but not commonly.  The few with the BPD who have done extremely well have been on very high doses.  In my experience, those without the BPD respond approximately 20% of the time to Cymbalta. For those 20% it works extremely well.
