Thanks again suji, for your support but the problem with anhedonia is that it just doesn't allow you enjoy anything like music or shopping. I even feel like a stranger towards my daughter. Intellectually I know I love her, I am even aware that a piece of music is beautiful but emotionally it is just not there, even food tastes like cardboard. If I feel anything apart from frustration is a sense loss for not being able to enjoy things like food, music, sunshine, clean sheets and such like.
Finally after 23 consecutive days of headache I went to see my GP (my psychiatrist is on holiday) and he put me on a small dose of Amithriptyline. The headache is better although it is still there and my whole body aches as if I have been in a wresting match. On top that I think it must be interfering with my other medication because I feel a very nasty restlessness when I go to bed. I can’t stay in one position for more that two or three minutes. I feel really tired but I just can’t sleep. I think I just pass out in the end.
If I only know why Mirtazapine stopped working and how I can get it to kick in again. I have seen the tips on Naltrexone reinstating the effects of SSRIs. Will it work with Mirtazapine too?
Anyone please,
Babak
