> For a period of 6 years after stopping prozac I have suffered from anhedonia(the world seems to lack color), low motivation, poor concentration and memory, sexual dysfunction, and low energy. Has anyone ever found anything to reverse this?

> Bupropion and Methylphenidate didn't do anything and SSRIs exacerbate the problem. Could an SNRI help. Has anyone on this board ever sucessfully cured themselves from the seemingly permanent post SSRI side effects?You could try a tricyclic or a MAOI. I would probably opt for nortriptyline first followed by the addition of Parnate (this is the preferred order). I am biased towards these drugs, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt. If you decide to go for an SNRI, don't forget that you can add Remeron as an adjunct.
