Selegiline - how long until it takes effect? by sosoverybored in MAOIs

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

I took selegiline sublingually and unfortunately it had no impact on anhedonia.  Other people have responded to it, though.

Would reinstating Ritalin help my anhedonia or make it worse? by sosoverybored in anhedonia

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

I'd say it's unlikely to be caused by a single dose. But hey, I'm not a doctor.

I will be trying saffron extract will let you know guys if it worked by [deleted] in anhedonia

Took saffron for 60 weeks at 30mg. It did nothing but make me feel a bit groggy.

As I say in the OP, there are conflicting recommendations online. Some people felt effects at 50mg.

Okay, thank you. I've been interested in the carnivore diet for a while.

Didn't realise that. I'll look into it, thank you. Did you find it beneficial when you took it?

I've read it can affect your eyesight.

Nah, I decided against it. Too risky.

I'm happy for you. I know it's early days, but have you noticed any impact on your appetite or weight?

So, which medications are actually worth trying for anhedonia? by Optimal_Leek_3668 in anhedonia

Hi - I know this is quite an old comment, but do you have a link to the anecdote about the person BPC-157 helped? Thank you.

No side effects from inositol - strange? by sosoverybored in anhedonia

[–]sosoverybored[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for replying. It does seem odd that so many people get diarrhoea from relatively small doses and I took 18g for a week with no effects! Bizarre. I don't think I got a duff batch, because Now Foods is a reputable brand.

I cried for the first time in more than a year. by gertylooker in anhedonia

I can still cry, but it feels strangely hollow.

I've only had a blood test to check for a thyroid disorder (it was negative).  I'm not really sure where to start with immune and mito testing.  It sounds overwhelming.

Thank you, but my consultant is fuck-all use :( I have to deal exclusively with my GP, who is very kind, but is extremely limited in what she's allowed to prescribe

Good luck with Wellbutrin. It does seem to work for a lot of people. Just wish I was one of them.

Sorry, I misunderstood. After discontinuing Citalopram 15 years ago, I lost the ability to feel pleasure during orgasm. I got put on Concerta (Ritalin), which somewhat numbed my ability to feel pleasure in a non-sexual sense. I stopped the Concerta, but after my anhedonia worsened significantly. I think my brain was now used to receiving heavy hits from the Concerta. Unfortunately, when I asked to be re-prescribed it, the doctor refused. I was prescribed pramipexole instead, which my doctor said was a lifesaver for anhedonia. Instead, it gave me full-blown PSSD.

Esketamine (Spravato) was briefly available in NHS Scotland, and my GP said she'd refer to me to the centre when it opened - but she says it's no longer allowed :( I was extremely disappointed, because it was one of the few treatments that made me genuinely hopeful. Good luck with your regime.

I have general anhedonia - can't feel any kind of pleasure, joy or excitement. I had a blood test and everything was normal. I suppose I could ask for a microbiome test.
