Hang in there dude, you will get better. There's too much stuff out there that can help you. Pretty much everyone here has had to deal with what you're facing. But we usually come up with the same answer - it's better if we stuck around. At least till the next Harry Potter film comes out...
Like the other posters, said it's not likely that the two drugs you took directly caused your anhedonia. It takes high-powered stimulants like amphetamines and cocaine to deplete the dopamine producing areas of the brain and cause anhedonia. It IS possible you're suffering some sort of post-SSRI effects but it's also possible, like linkadge said, that you just need a better AD.
If it's available in your country you could try tianeptine or low-dose sulpiride or amisulpiride for anhedonia. Sulpirde at 50mg and tianeptine 12.5mg x 3 can be effective against anhedonia and the results tend to appear quickly.
Be well.
