Andrew mentioned that he thought Adrafinil had worked on my anhedonia. Definitely. Absolutely. Completely. No ifs, and, or buts about it. The list of previous meds is staggering.
We often think of dopamine as the pleasure center, and focus on dopamine for anhedonic type symptoms and such. But I am living proof that the norepinephrine system is just as powerful a pleasure center as dopamine is, if not more so.
But yes, Adrafinil completely wiped out a loonnnggg stubborn depression marked by prominent anhedonia.
