> Well, like the tryciclics, effexor causes adaptive changes in the dopamine d2/d3 systemts. It actually increases their responsivness. This change takes a while and is generally why anhedonia is the last and often most difficult symtpom to ameliorate. You could try adding some wellbutrin, a stimulant or dopamine agonist to try and improve the anhedonia.
