This is because you are low on dopamine. Dopamine gives you interest and pleasure. In the prefrontal cortex dopamine is reuptaked by norepinephrine transporters. When you block norepinephrine transporters you increase dopamine which is why people feel more motivated on SNRIs, wellbutrin, and the stimulants, and some TCAs.
I think celexa + prozac may be dampening your dopamingeric transmittion too much.
If you could get by on just prozac you may notice a difference.
