Default Are any antidepressants safe with MG?

I've tried Celexa and Zoloft in the past and found they make ptosis much worse. Amphetamine class medication helped, but had way too many side effects to continue after several months.

I was planning to ask my PM doc for something at my next appointment. Thanks for any suggestions.

I've tried Effexor XR (now contraindicated for MG), Celexa, and Wellbutrin. I don't have a problem with ptosis and I don't believe any of them affected my MG. Here's a list you might want to discuss with your physician:
