Supplements for Anhedonia

My focus is on treatment and what I need that could help me and I am currently experiencing anhedonia that is there all the time everyday despite the fact that the depression itself is gone. Now I realize that scientific theories regarding depression and anhedonia are just theories--they are not facts. But I am willing to try supplements and such according to scientific theories to see if they help or not. One of these theories regarding anhedonia is right here: [url=http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-07-scientists-potential-anhedonia-major.html#jCp]Scientists identify potential target for treating anhedonia - major symptom of depression[/url] Since melanocortins might be the problem here could you give me the name of the supplements and such that I need to take that will address this issue with the melanocortins (like something that will block the MC4 receptor or anything else I need to take that will somehow address this issue with the melanocortins in a different way)?

This would be because the psychiatrist I have does not believe I have anhedonia and is instead thinking I am just being delusional in regards to my pleasure centers being "shut down" and has prescribed me zyprexa (a medication for people who are delusional and psychotic which is not who I am at all). As for seeing a professional that would cost a lot of money and we don't have that money. And also because my family just believes to just not think or worry about it and to just simply "do my best" and not spend such money on worrying about my condition.
