anhedonia is a complex issue, no one has come up with a certain cure, some people have hit the jackpot with NSI-189, lots of people try a seemingly endless array of substances with no results
drug-induced anhedonia is relatively common, and it's certainly one of humanity's worst inventions. some things that have worked for others are the aforementioned NSI, ECT, pramipexole, ketamine infusions, psilocybin, potassium-channel openers, you can check these off as you go when you try them. it's what I've been doing when I came down with a nice case of anhedonia from olanzapine.
best of luck.

Trazodone is supposed to be the safest for sexual health. In fact it can help fix problems caused by SSRI use. I would seriously doubt 11 pills did all that to you.
You said that you were in a clinic for other "brain" issues. It can be coincidence that your intimacy issues started while you were seeking treatment.
You can add requip and 9MBC to the above list of treatments.

It's challenging to suggest effective treatments on a forum like this, but from what you've said, it sounds like something got messed-up in your dopamine and/or serotonin metabolism. It may be that you have a genetic weakness in one or more of the enzymes involved, and that the Trazodone provoked an increased expression of that weakness.
Unfortunately, this kind of thing is difficult to diagnose and treat, often requiring a fair bit of experimentation, because the associated lab tests just aren't very good yet (although an Organic Acids test would be a useful starting point).
A few ideas that might help get you started:
- Try Tyrosine, which is a dopamine precursor.
- Try 5-HTP, which a serotonin precursor.
- Try Methylfolate, Methyl-B12, Magnesium and a strong antioxidant (just not Vit C) -- first, one at a time, and then all together. These are all involved with BH4 metabolism, which is the precursor to most neurotransmitters.
If something makes you worse, that can be an important indicator. Keep notes about what you try and the effect it has.
A disturbance in nitric oxide metabolism is another possibility. Has your blood pressure gone up?
