Anhedonia seems to be quite common when taking serotonergic drugs like Citalopram and Cymbalta. It has something to do with dopamine (pleasure and reward neurotransmitter) being downregualted by the excess of serotonin over time. Stims can help with this but I'm quite certain you won't be able to get them for psychiatric use in the UK. Parnate is one stimulating med that you might be able to get and replacing Celexa and Cymbalta with it may help.

Amisulpride works well, but only for a short time it seems. Best saved for occasional use?
