Well since being on prozac left me with anhedonia, memory problems, sexual dysfunction, and for awhile fatigue. Mind you I'm not on it and still have the first 3 problems and never had them before. I have to say "No" If i knew this then I wouldn't have taken it. In some previous posts I've mentioned that after everything else such as diet, medication, exercise failed to return me to baseline, I'm trying to fight fire with fire.
Now I realize this thread is kind of demoralizing. So I will refrain from going on about this since my situation is abnormal. I mainly came here for info on drugs that can help or reverse anhedonia and cognitive problems. When I find one that works I will take it til I die just so I don't have to deal with the aftermath of whatever drugs do to your brain.
Fight fire with fire. Noradrenergic/dopaminergic drugs to counter effects of SSRIs.
Post-SSRI syndrome: iatrogenic anhedonia, memory and concentration problems, sexual dysfunction. [NOTE no sadness or anxiety]
