> what age did you notice it started ???
0 (i.e. from birth, or at least ever since I can remember)
> did SSRI make it worse ???
Yup. Made *everything* worse!
> if ssri was augmented with a stimulant like dexadrine or welbutrin , were you a wide awake flat person ???
Didn't try.
> do you suffer from hypersomnia when non medicated or just medicated with ssri ??
both
> do opiates help you fell normal ??
In my limited experience, they make me feel better. What is it like to feel "normal"? :-)
> do opiates stimulate you but yet you are calm ??
Sort of.
> do any of you get sleepy on opiates ???
Back in the 60's, I found that smoking a lot of opium made me pleasantly sedated & dreamy. But theraputic doses of legal meds, no.
I've found that dopaminergic meds (such as stimulants & Parkinson drugs) help most with anhedonia.
