Problem is, many of the side effects from AD's overlap those of depression itself. The apathy, the anhedonia, etc.
If this has really followed your med change Id ask about trying something else or adding wellbutrin.
Sometimes methylphenidate or dexedrine is helpful in place of adderall.
What else have you tried? Ive avoided the SNRIs like the plague since I have had discontinuation syndrome from old school SSRIs and it wasnt fun.
I find these drugs dont make me 'happy' so long as mute the depression like taking a 'psychic pain killer'.
TCAs may have a better chance of producing the effects you want.
