Hey I use to get a drug imported from India when I didn't have the money to see a doctor. I had to do what I had to do. If the United States doesn't feel healthcare is a right then **** them. I hope the senators enjoy their government funded, top notch healthcare that I pay for.

Actually tweaky lives in Canada 🇨🇦 is what I was thinking.....plus DT is not so far from Canada himself and they have legal online pharmacies I just don't know the ins and outs of them but I'm guessing tweaky does.

I could get a prescription from my doctor for it and drive straight to Canada and get it filled to the max for months.

Ah I see. My mind went somewhere else with that. Lol... I find it funny that my mom gets meds from my uncle who was in prison for robbing a drug store in West Virginia.

**** then I would need a special drivers license that I don't have thanks to President Bush's new restrictions, right?

I gave some informations to DT but idk which pharmacies are legit that's why I never used them they look like complete scams.
I've never been scammed though lol even when some try to scam people I can see right through them. |

Thanks for the info, Tweaky. I really appreciate it. I know it's not approved in the United States but maybe my pdoc knows something I don't and can get it through anyway. Hmmph. As for Wellbutrin, I feel the physical effect of dopamine from it, which is alertness, but that's it. I can barely sleep on it. Plus it gave me panic attacks for 3 years when I went up to 300mgs, which isn't an unreasonable dosage. Starting dosage is 150mgs, and then 300mgs, and then I think the highest is 450mgs.
It's weird, Lamictal, if I recall correctly, is what "corrected" my panic attacks for good. I remember I kept on trying to ween off it slowly but I always ended back up on it because the panic attacks would start again. I go off it this last time and I can't even get panic attacks. I mean, that's great news!!! But how thorough was its effects on my emotions? Can they be corrected at all? Why can't I summon up any trace of mental euphoria, I mean even a mild bit? |

apparently increasing working memory by using the dual n back can help----makes me wonder whether supplements like NAC that also increase working memory might work as well but those were only studied over a 6 month span and only with regard to memory and not anhedonia...... __________________ Hugs! |

a lot of what I'm reading suggests that the thoughts that occur before pleasure are disrupted but not the actual pleasure itself....ie anticipation rather than experiential pleasure is what's messed up.....this seems counter to what you're saying though

The NMDA seems to be about memory and learning. I have no memory or cognitive decline whatsoever. I've fully recovered my cognitive capacity thanks to treatment from antipsychotics, primarily Geodon. It took about 6 months to gain my memory back after first round of treatment, then about few months after I was introduced to Lamictal. That gave me brain fog, but as I said it lifted after some months.

I've tried my damndest almost every day to evoke it consciously, and sometimes I can turn on a song and wait for it's climax (for example Sia Chandelier) and I can evoke the goosebumps once in a great while but no mental pleasure from it. It's just like it gets cold lol. a big popcorn fart. |

So there is a woman Barbara arrowsmith young who had severe mental defects and she corrected them by learning clocks.....it's a neuroplasticity thing....find what stimulates a certain region of the brain etc and stimulated with repetitive learning and you strengthen it....sometimes an indirect approach will work where direct will not. She actually has a limp arm and regained function with this type of learning. So what I'm saying is find and try the dual n back for a month.....be your own gunea pig and see if it helps, if not all you've lost is a few minutes a day. __________________ Hugs! |

I.e. How did memorizing clocks help with a sense of direction and a limp arm for arrowsmith.....same part of the brain. I could be wrong since it's based on one paper but the worst case scenario is you get a little smarter.....better working memory. Seriously though it's incredibly difficult, at least for me to play this particular game. __________________ Hugs! |

Stopped by my father's today. He's been living in a delusion since 2001, treatment resistant. He was on an antipsychotic for a month and then said hell no. I asked him questions about anhedonia, how music effects him since he's a music buff, about pleasure, about if he ever feels lonely, or has trouble attaching ideas to emotions at all and he has no problem with any of it. These meds I've taken...
