RG,
I don't know anything about lithium for anhedonia except what I've read here. Do you have any mood swings at all? I've read that cyclothymia (mild cycling) may be a cause of antidepressant poop out and that the effectiveness of the ADs can be recovered with lithium or other mood stabilizers.
As far as Mirapex goes, maybe it would work much like amisulpride for anhedonia. You could go to a p-doc. and ask if he would be willing to prescribe either amisulpride or Mirapex (pramipexole).
One final note, some other dopamine active drugs may not mix well with amisulpride. I tried mixing amilsulpride with a little amineptine, a dopamine reuptake blocker. Not long after, maybe 6 hours, I felt very depressed. I'm wondering if other drugs that have a action on dopamine such as cigarettes and coffee would also cause a temporary lowering of mood when a person’s also taking amisulpride.
