Linkadge,
It sounds as though you are shouldering too much of the blame for the way you are feeling now. I think you should try and stop believing that the serotonin syndrome you say you experienced caused any damage to your brain and stop believing that you are entirely responsible.
If I looked back I could blame SSRIs for damaging my brain as I started taking them at 24 but I don't regret taking them for one minute, I have nice memories of my twenties now and I wouldn't even have that if I hadn't of taken them.
I know what you mean about not being able to experience pleasure, laugh etc, I felt exactly like that two years ago, I really felt as though I was geneticly programmed to kill myself, that it was somehow coded into me but I am now feeling better be it with the help of SSRIs.
And please stop thinking that you or the drugs are in some way to blame for how your feeling now. I have friends who overload themselves with drink and drugs and they still seem to come out of it unscathed without any brain problems. It's just luck of the draw.
Denise
