> My med trials continue, though I've had considerable progress this year. I've learned that anhedonia can be a stand-alone condition all its own, with or without accompanying depression, and that it can be treated. Whatever chemistry causes anhedonia, my experience so far seems to point to the dopamine/norepinephrine circuitry. With me anyway. So at least I can narrow down my med choices to things that work on those chemistries. Thus far the best of all was >Amisulpride+Adrafinil.
JohnL,
I've been looking at a few of your postings from the last while and found myself pondering a few things, as I struggle with possibly going back on ADs or...???
Are you still pursuing the Dr. Jensen approach? If so how long have you been at it, now and what success are you having? What combo of meds are you taking all together these days and how many others have you tried out? Quite a few from what I recall were there not?
How long has it been for you now, expermenting with diffrent meds and how do you keep yourself going, despite the anhedonia, etc? Still having those early morning awakenings by the look of times on this posting and a couple of others...How do you keep yourself together and a sense of faith in moving through the pharm-miasma?? Just thinking about it tires me out...
I trust this finds you well!
Sante!
