Babak I know everyone says this, but have you tried Nardil? I have suffered my own peculiar version of depression, derealisation and extreme anxiety for 43 years and I've tried everything. Only recently did I convince a Dr to try this old drug, but after 6.5 weeks - a fairly rough ride - it worked and has continued to work for over 3 months. That's the best response of any drug. To think I could have been given it all those years ago! Yes I put on weight and my genitals have a purely excretory function. But it's worth it; I'm getting on in years. Anhedonia I found to be one of the worst features of depression as I'm naturally a passionately interested person - in virtually everything. When anhedonia strikes I feel very frightened as it makes me feel cut off from life and a black pit opens up inside me.
I don't know whether opiates would help during the burning in period, I imagine it would. Nardil and heroin affect different receptors, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to say it would be harmless
