Benzos are not useful in reducing anhedonia as far as I know. Stimulants can be useful, but tolerance is a major problem with them. The same is probably true of any drug that modifies the hedonic response such as opiates. People were so excited about tricyclics when they were discovered because they seemed to modify the hedonic response without inducing tolerance.-z
