Oh, I smell a PBC coming. ;-)
I get the same reaction from people sometimes, Economist. Its like unless your balling your eyes out or have scars on your wrists no one thinks anythings wrong. That your just bored and to do something new and you will get over it. Even though anhedonia is the main symptom is might be easier to tell your friends you have schizophrenia. Its an accepted mental illness, that they can google and see that anhedonia is a main symptom of. I usually just tell people I'm depressed rather then explaining my experience with post SSRI anhedonia. Its just miles simpler.
Manic666, she did say she has schizophrenia and a psychotic break in previous posts in this thread. Anhedonia is a component of schizophrenia, and it only started happening to her after her first episode. I personally think she is not being properly treated and that some of the drugs she is taking could make things worse.
Economist, which antipsychotics have you tried other than amulsipride?
Post-SSRI syndrome: iatrogenic anhedonia, memory and concentration problems, sexual dysfunction. [NOTE no sadness or anxiety]
Weening off pristiq: 50mg every other day.
