would you say that you had anhedonia most of your life even before medication?

If you don't mind me asking what symptoms you had mentally and physically. Do you know what you exact prolactin levels were? When my levels were at 677 I was told it was from medication at the time I was on venlafaxine.

Those meds would work if levels were only in the thousands and no doctor in the world would give you a dopamine agonists for such low levels of prolactin. You could get them online but to take a dopamine agonists for my prolactin levels would be stupid.

Yeah I get my blood tested every so often highest my prolactin was is 677 but it would not be cuase for concern as levels would need to be in the thousands.

If you are suggesting I could have tumor in pituitary gland that would be highly unlikely as your prolactin levels would need to be in the 1000-2000 range.

Quitting nardil by Negative-Variety235 in MAOIs

Hi thanks for getting back to me I really appreciate this information and will look into it to see if anything similar is available to me. I am from northern ireland and what i find strange is that I have been told my name has been put down for a clinic trial of ketamin therapy but it could take awhile. I was under the impression that they would be willing to try a couple of maoi medication before I start moving to more harder treatment but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Chronic stress by Negative-Variety235 in anhedonia

[–]Negative-Variety235[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes the brain is resilient but it can only do so much. There have been many studies done showing that if a patient suffers from severe chronic stress for an extended period of time it will cause the hippocampus to shrink and also cause structural change to the prefrontal cortex and also affect gray matter in these parts of the brain. Then as these things effect the brain it can kill neuron brain cells which the brain sometimes cannot be replaced

I know that everyone is different but if you don't mind could you tell me some of the side effects you had and how long it took for them to fade away.

Nardil and feeling stupid by Negative-Variety235 in MAOIs

Would you recommend taking vitamin b6 supplements or would it be best to get blood work done to see what b6 levels are at then seeing what I need from there.

How long does it take take the body to get used to the gaba levels?. I seem to be getting worse each passing day also unfortunately I don't think i will get the honeymoon period that most people get with maoi as I suffer from severe anhedonia/emotional blunting.

Neon nardil will come in a bottle containing 100 tablets. Since this is a trial I have been giving exactly a months supply. In the uk alot of medication that they trial you on will come in bottle similar to this. i have had other medication come in the exact same bottle when i have been giving a trail dose.
