So I took mirapex a year and a half ago to help with effexor side effects, mainly a little emotional numbness. i took the mirapex for about a month and a half and it was helping me somewhat until BAM! anhedonia hit me... i suppose it messed with my dopamine receptors too much. i need help, are there any treatments for this. im scared:( im going to see a psychiatrist here soon. any helpful thoughts will be appreciated greatly! oh o forgot to say that i had stopped the effexor much before i started mirapex.

>How long ago did the anhedonia hit? How long ago did you stop the mirapex? Hopefully this issue can reverse itself with time.

This is the _effect_ of Effexor, not a side effect. I suggest switching classes of antidepressants.
