Yes it does suck. I have had it since stopping prozac years ago. I don't know what could help in the case of stimulant induced anhedonia. Maybe wait and see if it improves on its own for a couple of years while eating well, getting to bed early, and exercising.

Agomelatine + a very low dose of a SSRI (Prozac)

Agomelatine isn't available in the U.S. Sure you can get it from overseas but one of our members showed me a video from "60 minutes" showing how over seas pharmacies sell fake pills and even copy the packaging, corporate logos, and blister packs just like the originals. Closest thing in the US is SSRI + mirtazapine or california rocket fuel maybe. For those in Europe agomelatine would probably work well w/ an SSRI, probably better than by itself.

That kind of lifestyle would be enough to induce anhedonia for me!
