Hello, all!
Anhedonia is one of those tricky symptoms for those depressives/bipolars out there, difficult to treat with medications. What do people know that works for it? My vagus nerve stimulator is somewhat effective at relieving it, where drugs have not been, but side-effects limit how high one can profitably set my device. Are there any other ideas out there for relieving anhedonia? Is TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) any good at it, for example? Or has anyone had long-term success with any particular medications?
Thanks for your attention, and hope this starts a useful discussion,
Psychbot(my background: I suffer from chronic, treatment-resistant depression, reasonably well-controlled, and have had a Vagus Nerve Stimulator implanted for the last two years).
