anhedonia - recommend me meds

Postby Nephilim » Tue Apr 15, 2014 7:31 am

Could you recommend me some meds for anhedonia. I osten simply can't stand from my bed. I just don't see a resaon to do anything. I take opiates like codein, morphine etc. and they really meke me forget about anhedonia and I feel okay. Nothing prescribed to me does really works on me. I search for something, because I think it's not a good idea to take opiates. Can you help me?

We can't recommend meds here. It's against the rules and where I'm at, it's illegal. You really have to get that kind of medical advice from your doctor.

Looking up "anhedonia" and "opiates", it looks like the anhedonia maybe a withdrawal symptom of the opiates.

You might be right. I took Ethylmorphine every day for six years and I stopped it suddenly.

I used to take opiates a lot and they are not good news. Other than being highly addictive they mess with your mental health imo and also have horrible withdrawal. I can understand wanting to self medicate difficult feelings such as anhedonia but in the end it does not help. I would talk to your Dr and be honest about the opiates too even if you dont want to be - they can only truly help you if they know everything. See what they can advise

I've had such bad experiences with opiate withdrawal, I really would steer clear of them even though I know how good you can feel when taking them. I LOVE codeine but I never let myself take it now because I know it's an addiction, as much as I'd like to feel the effects now and again. To me it was as bad as my smoking was - I took it all the time and sometimes took too much in one day etc. I also would avoid it because personally I feel it's easier to turn to pills when depressed when you're already so used to taking them. May not be scientifically true but it's certainly how I feel about them, with my own experiences.

Talk to your doc about it and push for more help than you've been getting so far.
