DocJohn said this to me in this Q/A

Day, usually such feelings clear up after more than a year off of an SSRI, they tend not to stick around for so long... so I wonder if it's the same thing, or if it's not still a much lower-level grade of depression that is still lurking in your life

Then I clarified what I had, telling him that it's blurry whether the SSRI or the Lamictal caused it, but that I felt complete pleasure and depression before the SSRI. Now I can't feel either.
To which he said

Day.... That's a tough one, and I'm not sure I know a better way to treat anhedonia other than through either (a) psychotherapy or (b) some sort of antidepressant medication.

He then asked me if Geodon has helped bring them back and I gave him my response how I've been on it this entire time, and felt it before with just Geodon, alongside with depression.
Then Doc John said he really doesn't know what's going on. He told me that I should see a specialist.
Blah. Vague. So time, time, time... I've been off the SSRI and haven't felt pleasure in over... 2.5 years now I believe. I have gotten brief windows from when I drink maybe a handful of times a year, but that's all. And it's so slight.
