What Causes The Feeling Of Lethargic With Cognitive Impairment?

I am feeling lethargic with cognitive impairment, tiredness lack of motivation. I feel that I have had an underlying virus or flu since 4.5 months ago. Blood tests check out okay for viruses. Blood test okay. Diagnosed with depression 18mths ago. Now taking 60mg per day of citalopram + 20mg propanolol twice daily. I have felt very well for period of time whilst on this medication but haven't really been 100% since depression diagnosis. Struggling at the moment.
