I also take Citalopram (20mg) for my depression. I'm ADHD and my mother is bipolar, and my father is ADD. Concerta has largely helped me with my concentration in class, and my tics, and Ritalin has helped me with me going to sleep. I am decreasing the dosage of Citalopram, as my depression has gotten better ( the depression was mainly caused at school because of my poor concentration). I hope that this helps you understand that everybody is different with their situations, internal systems, which require different dosages or another medication. Maybe you should inquire about a different stimulant. I hope that you get past your troubles, and find the right medication and the right dosage. @ Brigid
