day 3 of my new regime, I am taking 10/100mg carbidopa/levodopa and 1.25mg bromocriptine everyday, I am feeling slightly improved, more energy, more excited about life, it definitely affects my anhedonia, I do think for most people that dopamine is the main culprit in their anhedonia, its just many dopaminergic drugs don't pinpoint the pleasure centres, thats where exercise and being active comes in to help get some natural dopamine which is by far the best. But to beat anhedonia i do think dopaminergic medicine is the only method to speed up the process and help get back to life. I know you might say taking levodopa is'nt sustainable, but its very low dose just to give me a kick start and some people have taken it continuously for over 10 years. So basically after 3 days I am feeling alot better, I keep getting urges of excitement to go and get my life back. I hope the pattern continues and I see more improvement over the coming weeks.
