In reply to Re: SSRIS AND ANHEDONIA, can anyone relate?? (long), posted by blueberry1 on January 15, 2007, at 5:35:22
Yup, and I did'nt even read all the other posts. All I can say and sumise is the FACT that even my pdoc admitted to was this:.... Increased Serotonergic activity....Simply put....down-regulates Dopamine. I wish I had the Immediate answer but I don't. So in effect....depression robs one of the few pleasures in life...and then a drug(substance X) comes along and 'artificially' makes one feel like all is ok and h*nky dorey and then anhedonia and apathetic sex sets in. I know it may not be the case for everyone. But hey.c'mon apathy and anhedonia are definitely 2 of the major deficits of the big "D" in my book!
I can relate. But it just does not make sense!
