I started taking Nardil hoping it would help with anhedonia, and so far it has made the situation worse. All I want to do is sleep and I barely even have motivation to play video games which is a new thing.
Some people have the same thing happen when taking dopamingeric drugs, which are thought to prevent anhedonia. Just won't know until you try.
