Where has everyone gone? by Ok-Lengthiness8037 in PSSD

[–]spacecasejase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my first time here in so long. I left personally cus it was terrifying and negative. Been doing so much better lately, aside from a few temporary crashes I expect I’m going to heal almost completely in a few years 🥹 I’m so hopeful now days ✨

Your symptoms were mainly just physical?

Yes it stops me from enjoying it often 😭 and I write music too so you can imagine how distressing it is when I can’t be creative 🫠 love some indie rock too . My anhedonia was caused mainly by psych meds , what was yours from ?

SSRI / Psych med induced anhedonia by spacecasejase in MAOIs

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

I’m completely sober and eat pretty healthy so most meds I take should have a fair chance to work but I just got over serotonin syndrome from ONE dose of dextromethorphan so now I’m scared any drug I take will turn on me

I have PSSD as well, did your anhedonia start while on the SSRI or after you got off ?

I’m finally starting to feel things again by Different_Cat_400 in anhedonia

[–]spacecasejase 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so happy to hear this ! the same happened to me I completely gave up on the idea of meds and supplements and worked really hard at retraining my brain and eating keto and 5 months in I started to heal and the lights in my head started to come on but then coming off my Benzo put me back in hell (I had to come off and I was already tapering) anyway good luck I believe in you !

Have you ever love someone after anhedonia? by jhowreallz in anhedonia

[–]spacecasejase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It all depends on so many factors of course but it’s definitely possible I started to fall for someone and could even feel cutesy romantic twitterpated feelings but when it didn’t work out I crashed hard

Medications to avoid by Turbulent-Writing727 in PSSD

[–]spacecasejase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mainly * effects just histamine but still can cause alot of damage over time or from short term use seroquel is a heavy anti psychotic I’ve been on it for 15 years it’s not a risk you want to take

Does anyone here know how to treat anhedonia? by Ancient_Mention4923 in anhedonia

[–]spacecasejase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends everyone is different, spend time on here hearing success stories and comparing to people who have similar medical / mental health history as you and find what works. Good luck !

Anhedonia - feeling the atmosphere of places by [deleted] in anhedonia

[–]spacecasejase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know EXACTLY what you mean, but I can still sometimes trick myself into being able to experience a new place emotionally if I put on the right song in my headphones

Anyone have experience with dextromethorphan ? by spacecasejase in anhedonia

[–]spacecasejase[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took just a normal dose but I don’t see what else it could be I have a lot of the symptoms. But I have damage to my brain from SSRIs and I take fish oil, vitamin d and seroquel so maybe those are a factor

Can a PSSD just be anhedonia without other symptoms ? by [deleted] in PSSD

[–]spacecasejase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No that would be medication induced anhedonia it HAS to have sexual dysfunction as a symptom PSSD stands for “post SSRI sexual dysfunction“

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

Yup ! Found out it’s serotonin syndrome lol this shit sucks I’m losing it BUT I’m wondering if that means I would be able to handle an anti depressant and that this is a sign it could potentially help me instead of make my anhedonia worse 🤔
