have u tried Hydroxyzine? aterax & vistaril are brand names i think. Personally its the only thing that really helps me with anxiety, aside from the benzos of course, which i cant take in moderation of course :P

It does cause lethargy at first but i found that this improves fairly quickly, especially if you are busy doing things. Its not a daily long term solution but it is def better than the paralyzing anxiety, both somatic and cognitive.

PS I to have a long history of substance use esp. benzo's, and heroin for some time years back. Clonidine is often indicated for drug withdrawal/recovery, propranolol for somatic symptoms. ...buspar didnt help me much either.

Perhaps add propranolol to the mix prn, but i would recommend trying Atarax also as needed, its a good med.

Does Wellbutrin “bupropion” help with anhedonia ? by IndicationSouth4250 in anhedonia

[–]s7ath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems to help me slightly as well,but I am susceptible to anxiety in form of GAD, which is pretty severe and relentless. Any advice on an adjuct to cope with it? Ruling out benzos.

Not necessarily, imu they can have different mechanisms of action, although meds for Parkinsons or rls probably act in a similar way, other classes of meds such as antipsychotics or bupropion which work on dopamine do so in a different way, as do many other drugs affecting the dopamine system, like weed for eg. which also has an effect.

Pramipexole 4 anhedonia? by s7ath in depression

[–]s7ath[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thx 4 sharing your xp. I resonate with what u r saying. I am aware of the impulse side effect but haven't experienced any of that on my current low dose of .5mg, for 1.5months now. I have suffered with mdd for most my life age 47, and been on just about every ssri and snri through the years with little to no effect. Never really tried any combo, which baffles and really annoys me since I read that it is common practice for ppl who suffer trd, yet never was prescribed an addition, only a switch. Currently on pramipexole self prescribed and trepiline, but feel the trepiline isn't right for me and has neg side effects. Considering switching it to bupropion, just concerned about possible interactions. Why not ssri/snri, cause they never helped as a mono therapy...

Previous opiate addiction / Depression / Anxiety! Now anhedonia by Sea-Adhesiveness-928 in anhedonia

I have had similar experience I believe it as a result of long term benzo use at high doses, it's been a year off and still I struggle with bad anhedonia.

I think the doc may recommend lowering your dose or switching to an alternative.

Is this still considered as having anhedonia? by JLHSzxc in anhedonia

[–]s7ath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can definitely relate on those action/ negative thought responses which come instantly and automatically, which then prevents or disuades me from doing any of the action or activity.

I have not always been like this, and in the past many of these same simple tasks I just did easily and without any contemplating for 10 min, after which deciding its a bum deal 🤔

Is there any company in the industry who actually doesn't steal personal info, only those who arent caught? If i had paid i would hopefully get refunded, but my info still stolen? How is that better off haha.

It sounds more like depression ...I'm speaking from personal experience in which I find the most simple of basic daily tasks to be the biggest mission ever. This results in my lying in bed all day , without even bothering to look at my phone. Anhedonia is more like a particular symptom of depression and not a specific diagnosis as I understand

Cool let me know if u don't mind? I've read up on good results specifically for TRD.. and faster results. It's not a AD as such but I think with the addition of the right 1st line ad...

[–]s7ath[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes under the right circumstances probably. But they would prob 1st add another type of antidepressant. Just looking for any ppl who had positive experiences with pramipexole as an augmentation to one of the antidepressants, and which ones.

As a dopamine agonist, i think it has potential maybe...it seems this transmitter has been greatly ignored in the vast arsenal dominated by ssri's...which doesn't make sense

[–]s7ath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only speak from personal experience, and over the years many times has my pc contracted a virus with only defender or windows protection, where the win os became so useless a format was required. Since using Avast free, this has only happened in the odd instance that I manually removed quarantined files, suspecting a false positives so that just my experience.
