In the good drug guide, which reflects my experience of using medical drugs down to a t, therefore I trust it, they state tianeptine is good for anxiety but not anhedonia. That site could wipe the floor with the info people give on here. Any serotonergic activity will only further prevent a person with anhedonia from recovering. Drugs are only half the deal, you need to get active and participative in some of lives fun activities.
any benefit from stablon's dopaminergic and noradrenergic dis-inhibition will only help people who do not have severe anhedonia, as the chemicals are so far depleted its negligible, plus the serotonin activity balancing the overall effect would make it side effect free and anhedonia free only in people who aren't in asevere state of anhedonia. You've got to kick it hard, even if your scared to do so, its the only way. Anhedonia is due to a chemical imbalance, an abnormal ratio, how can you fix the ration by further increasing serotonin and noradrenaline? this would'nt make sense these drugs provide an equal effect, to treat an imbalance you need a drug that can target and raise a specific neurotransmitter system.Depression is about neurochemical processing, where as parkinson's is to do with dopamine receptor depletion. The difference is depression is not organic and this is why anti depressants treat it and can bring about recovery, you just need the right ones. Good luck in your recovery.
