> I'm bipolar and have been suffering with SEVERE anhedonia for the last 7 years. I feel absolutely no joy whatsoever, not even a twinge, it's as if whatever part of my brain is associated with joy has been amputated.
> Has anyone else been a long sufferer of this and found any relief and if so, how? I'm losing hope.

I'm very sorry, and I think I can very likely relate near perfectly. 2 words, EMSAM. Give the 12mg patch 6 weeks and if your response is like mine and you'll begin feeling much better, and in you'll be a new person 2 months and the memory of what it was like will already have started to fade. Now if you have insurance (or some other way to cover the $511 / month cost) RUN and don't walk to some doctor that will prescribe it for you. and wait..and wait and wait and wait and think nothing is happening then get ready to feel much better.
