In reply to anhedonia along with severe insomnia, posted by X_ander on November 16, 2008, at 22:44:12
This is just a personal anecdote (your mileage may vary) but my depression came with severe anhedonia, as well, and SSRIs have been the answer. Zoloft + Wellbutrin was a good combo. Right now I'm on Lexapro + less Zoloft, and I have more emotional ups and downs--I can get sadder or more fearful, but also happier.
100 mg of Zoloft (without Wellbutrin) had a bit of a blunting effect (not unpleasant after being suicidal, but maybe not a lifelong choice).
