For those who do not know the meaning of Anhedonia, it basically means a loss of the ability to feel pleasure. In fact one do not feel any emotion what so ever, besides the agony of emptiness.
Swim has developed anhedonia, which has gone worse over 10 years of time. This is very unpleasant state of mind to be in for Swim and he has tried many AD's to end this misery, but have failed doing so. He really thinks that he should be dead not alive for sake of avoiding more suffering. But of course he just won't die like that, he keeps on existing.
So, Swim has this problem that needs to be solved and done so without self-termination. Only way to keep Swim from self-terminating is to find effective medication.
Swim found out that MAO'i group AD Nardil was the only psychotropic substance that helped him with anhedonia, but he is not able to obtain it from his country anymore. SSRI type shi* have known not to work for anhedonia and has not helped Swim either nor has any other serotonergic med, so swim is looking for dopaminergic drugs to get back his emotions. Also Swim is not after herbal rinse water, he needs something toxic, something industrial?
Swim is a human being and this suffering is not appropriate for him, so how should Swim go?
EDIT: Swim is looking for meds to elevate dopamine in order to treat his anhedonia, any advice regarding to medicine or any success-stories treating the condition?
