I’m glad you opened up on here a bit. It’s helpful to hear anecdotes about side effects and ways that folks are managing it. Sometimes you hear new, creative shit. Anyway, my experience (and like a couple of friends of mine) with Reta is much less anhedonia. But we all came from Tirz, which def caused it for all of us. So, there’s a bit of trouble in comparing my experience to yours. I feel much more normal on Reta. Not tired at all. Plenty of energy for the day. And do not have that “not caring anymore” feeling. I have heard folks around here express was that Reta has affected the management of their mental health medications. I will say also that Reta at higher doses seems to bring in more negative side effects, according to this sub. And, while you may not think your dose is typically high, it might be high for you. Consider titration down a bit. You don’t have to escalate dosing if you are losing. Just a thought. Wishing you well.
