Hi Jerry,
I have the same symptoms as you, apathy, anhedonia, no feelings of pleasure ect.. You are on the right track with dopamine being the chemical you need to focus on, with a little having to do with norepinephrine as well. I achieved full remission while taking 300mg Effexor XR and the antipsychotic Geodon 40mg and Buspar 10mg. This worked great and I had my life back until one day I was around some marijuana smoke, and the Geodon stopped working. I would definately give it a shot, just watch your surroundings!
