RG, so sorry you're dealing with anhedonia too. I wish there was a recipe to treat it. Suggestions though? If Zoloft is OK, except for the anhedonia, try working with it. Choices are many. Add a TCA like Nortriptyline, Desiprimine, Vivactil. Buspar is so supposed to have real good synergy with Zoloft. Lithium augmentation is a standard approach. If one was to assume a dopamine connection, rather than serotonin, then there is Wellbutrin, Amisulpride. The choices really are staggering. I think it's important to have a good doc to help you understand the pros and cons of choices and set some priorities in them. Wishing you well. JohnL.
