Hey Alexander,
Thanks for posting all that. :) I've never had anhedonia, but it sounds like it sux. Yeah, I heard weight gain can really screw up your hormones like d/r said. I keep thinking that as I go back to my normal weight, some of my problems will just vanish. I really think that.
But still-trying to talk myself out of going on a SSRI again...for anxiety.
When I read your post the first time, I kept thinking - would you have initially taken the SSRI if you thought that it would have eventually messed up your system the way you suspect it has?
If someone told me it might do this to me, I think when I had severe depression, I would have taken it anyway. You know how you read the inserts on the script sometimes - that say - can cause seizures and all kind of other scary side effects......don't we just think that's not going to happen to us and take the medications anyway?
Looking back, would you have taken it, ignoring, say-if you were told your current condition was a potential side effect...would you have taken an SSRI anyway?
