Hi Falconman,
I had really bad anhedonia for about 2-3 months during the worst of my depression last year. I noticed that the cymbalta helped with starting to think more positively, but I got better results with 90 mg, and about 3? months ago I went up to 120. Now my bouts of depression are pretty sporadic, and rarely last more than a few days.I agree that some provigil may help with that. I think that since I've been taking provigil I really haven't had very bad anhedonia in a while. Usually the thing that I notice first in terms of anhedonia is that I just really don't want to eat. It's such a chore. So is anything. Nothing seems to have any color or meaning. Music- no more "goosebump" effect. It's really awful, and no way to live life.
If you've gotten any kind of response on 60mg cymbalta it is worth it to try a higher dosage before switching to a new medication altogether.
take care of you,
there really is tasty chocolate in the world; it will be waiting for you when you feel better.-Ll
