> Have you tried one of the newer antipsychotics taken at low dose? They sometimes help people with those symptoms of apathy, anhedonia. A lot of people here like Amisulpride. Zyprexa or Abilify can be good too if you are unable to obtain Amisulpride. I know they have an effect on dopamine, but I am not one to explain how or why. I'm sure you could find a lot of information about it on a search here.

I'm on 200mg of Seroquel. It hasn't done much for my depression - I mainly take it for insomnia and it also helps a little with anxiety. BUt I think it actually makes me more lethargic. Thanks for the link tho!
