You wrote, "...unable to talk to anyone because i dont relate to anyone because i have no interests."
I know this isn't a drug, but my psychologist got me over this particular hump. (I have to work hard to practice it, tho.) He said "true fun has true social meaning," so we need to have fun. We need to develop interests. If there is a mood scale from 1 to 10, and depression makes it so golfing (or whatever you used to like) only registers a 3 for you, he says "Go for that three!" Have you ever read Barbara Sher's book, "I Could Do Anything, If I Only Knew What It Was.?" Well, it's not about depression, but the first part of the book has really good practical ideas for how to get back in touch with things you like.
