None of those are standard diagnoses. I don't think any of the standard diagnoses fit. Iatrogenic anhedonia means that my current symptoms come from taking prozac earlier. This is what I believe. Psychologists, doctors, and pdocs have suggested, ADD, depression, ocpd, and mood stability as the issue. I'm sure once a medicine has been found that helps the docs will backwards rationalize and determine what I "have."
Atleast my current pdoc admits that these drugs can mess people up. She doesn't dismiss what I say but I guess she wants to try something different with lamictal. I'm just trying to be patient. I would like to try something noradrenergic before my girlfriend visits me this summer since Pristiq initially increased sensation and sexual interest for me, then the serotonergic part kicked in and numbed all that.
Yeh I wonder if the docs can prescribe things better than we can. The best drug combo I've tried in recent years is low dose prozac + buspar which our very own Brainbeard suggested. It definetly helped with motivation, sometimes I wish my trial was longer. I'd give it a 3 out of 10 with it being most effective for motivation, but not anhedonia so much. Maybe adding a TCA would help to augment it and do away with the serotonergic headache caused by it.
