(My anxious depression was fairly severe.) I agree, though, that it was not great for ADHD, certainly not mine. I'm also familiar with the apathy it can induce. When I switched to Trintellix, I can only describe the change as a relief. I would recommend it as something to try if you get the chance.
Could you try citalopram again?
