> Friends,
> The poster writes that the only way to treat anhedonia in this case is to get back to meds.
> How does the poster know that, and to whom could that conclusion be revealed?
> You see, the poster has in her mind from something that the only way is by meds. But where does she get that conclusion? Could there be another way? Does the poster want you to think that drugs are the only way? Why, if that is so?
> You see, it has been revealed to me that anhedonia could be caused by the drugs. If that be so, how could more drugs cure the anhedonia? Could not more drugs cause worse and induce the poster to kill herself and/or others?
> Be not deceived. The poster has already said that she is suffering from stopping the drug. That suffering could increase with adding more drugs to her death. Do you here want to promote more drugs to her?
> Friends, it has been revealed to me how one can be freed from the bondage of anhedonia. It would come from a Jewish perspective as revealed to me that Mr. Hsiung prohibits me to post here. It involves the God that said "Let there be light."
> This light is life. I can show you how that life can come back into you and dispel the darkness of depression and addiction and anhedonia. You see, turning away from the light leads to darkness. And like sheep gone astray, a shepherd is needed to seek the lost sheep and bring them back to the Light. That light is shinning in a dark place. That dark place is the heart. And I have come for all here to have a new heart and a new spirit, for it has been revealed to me that all we like sheep have gone astray.
> LouAnhedonia could be caused by drugs but it also could be caused by the cessation of drug use (which is my case). There are drugs that treat anhedonia and there are drugs that make it worse. Quitting Paxil CR gave me PAWS to which one of the symptoms is the damn anhedonia but once I got back on Paxil, PAWs have resolved. Life felt interesting once again. That said, I'm not planning on getting back to Paxil as I've been on it for so long, long enough to realize how weird it made me feel socially.
