Yes. DpDr was gradually fading - had A LOT of setbacks (still dealing with them, but they are waaaaaaay weaker than before). 99% of the time I am normal.

Music pleasure went from 0 to 70% in a day span (after like 20 days taking medicine). Then the rest 30% came back gradually with a couple weeks.

Libido was gradually too. Started to have morning booners. Currently masturbating almost everyday just like before.

Mental clarity was the same. Now my mind is fast as before - cognitively speaking. Able to work, memorize stuff and everything else.

How long were you taking the pills for ? That’s good to hear man congrats. Praying I recover within this next year.

Will leave this forum permanently, deleted my Reddit account - being not able to see my old posts asking everyone for recovery stories and etc. Left anhedonia Discord.

I don't want to remember the hardest time of my life, want to forget and deal with it as a nightmare that passed.

To everyone, keep up, have faith in God, everything pass sometime. You WILL MAKE IT through this hard time. I can say that I had reborn and have the oportunity to live fully again. I had so many SI that I almost did shit that cannot be undone - you get what I am saying.

I had anhedonia, DpDr 27/4, no energy, SI, no libido and everything else. Mine was caused due Risperidone or post-psychosis, don't know.

Didn't took injections but symptons was the same as everyone relate.

Living was hell the entire year after february and my episode.

Only getting to psych ward and taking medicine again helped me and bought me back - lamotrigine and quetiapine.

Doing better than ever - EVERYTHING came back, from music pleasure to libido, everything.

Every case is unique, so don't take other's person reality as yours. Trust professionals.

You WILL RECOVER and enjoy everything being thankful for every simple thing.

Godspeed.

Thank you for sharing, I’m starting lamotrigine in about 3 weeks. Did your mind get fixed from being blank? And was it only after you started taking meds that you started to recover? Did you start both meds at the same time?

Yes. Mental clarity came back - toughts just like before everything. Only after medication improvement started. Lamotrigine and quetiapine together, started with 50 mg both, then increased slowly to 350mg lamotrigine and 125mg quetiapine.
 
So do people actually recover or do they just trick themselves because they dont have the physical side effects?
Getting injected doesmt give you ptsd
 
I am losing this battle im at 128 days no improvement on anhedonia. My cars breaking down and getting old. I used to have 5000 in aavings i could have not gotten injected and bought a car and been happy and never moved back with dad
 
why do some people feel drugs and some don't at all? i only tried nicotine and weed after this poison i can still feel nicotine 20-50 percent and i tried weed once being fresh off the injection i didn't get stoned but it definetely made me feel different like intensified invega alot, made me very sedated, and made me feel extremely brain dead like there was a show on tv and the words they were saying i couldn't even make out anymore it turned to gibberish which i couldnt hear a single word of so it did make me feel different when i was fully lobotomized i think i could feel it now if i tried hopefully but why do some people feel zero effect at all

If u say so….
I definitely am not traumatized by psych wards/psych drugs just very pissed off that I got the shot. So if your saying that ptsd is the barrier between you and music than us w/o ptsd should get our music back fully?
Your sure its ptsd and not invega?
And even tho u lack motivation for music does it sound as good?

I've gone through phases where I'm less interested in music before I ever had the invega injection. I listened to some today and it hit okay.

There is actually research that shows that detainment and forced drugging produces similar trauma to sexual assault.

yeah i don't think you're fully recovered yet tbh im sure music isn't as good as it was before invega yet for you and you say you lack motivation i think it's from the invega yeah you may be mostly recovered but not fully however i believe you have the power to fully recover soon since you mostly recovered probably in the next 6-8 months max you will be fully recovered and using psychedelics could make that for sure and speed it up too if your ok with trying
 
is there more peope who tryed lamotrigine? coz i read about it and alot of positive comments on this, mby it would pull out us of this anhedonia thing
 
Would some type of amphetamine med help with dopamine and serotonin? I know the Invega blocks the receptors but would that reverse the affect ?

From my experience it helps in the short term but in the long term it just makes problems worse as you’re more dependent on it so it creates like an addiction cycle.
