I have terrible anhedonia and depression, to the point that I want to commit suicide all the time. I know that pregabalin/gabapentin can help immediately after taking them. But I also know that they are addictive. How does addiction manifest itself? That is, if you do not take it, then there will be withdrawal? Pregabalin, gabapentin, buspirone, beta-blockers etc. I know it depends on one's financial situation and the cost of healthcare in your country, but I cannot emphasise enough choosing a doctor and a therapist which are most competent, but also really dedicated at finding something which will help you with everyday anxiety. 15K subscribers in the anhedonia community.

I’ve heard lots of people use it for anxiety and for withdrawals of benzo and alcohol. I need to heal my GABA receptors would this work. Surprisingly during the peak of the withdrawal my mental state was fine, I was watching the olympic games with my parents on the couch. Only at the end of the 2nd day where the withdrawal was only like 25% the intensity of the peak did I start to feel the anhedonia and depressed mood, which I think is kinda worse then the peak of the withdrawal.

I tried therapy, IOP, fluoxetine, aripriprizole, bupropion, bupropion + dxm, and vilazadone before trying TMS. Did anyone get anhedonia and low motivation and how long did it take to go away once you go off? Took years but I jumped off 1800 mg per day. I’ve been taking 300 mg gabapentin nightly for just over a month and for the last two ish weeks I have been very unmotivated and depressed and having frequent crying spells. I can't really describe it, it's like 😐 or like depression without the depression. I think anhedonia comes closest. I was wondering if others experience this as well, and if it got better after being on a certain dose for a while? Gabapentin is the the primary cause of my current, severe anhedonia. It helped at first, but I developed a tolerance quickly and withdrawals are brutal (very similar to benzodiazepine withdrawal). I had horrific withdrawals for months and do not feel like I've fully recovered to this day. One of the main reasons my anhedonia is so severe now is Gabapentin (Lyrica is a stronger analogue of gabapentin). Helped in the short term, but feels like it's damaged my brain now. Withdrawal lasted months, left me unable to work, and required a microtaper. There are many causes to anhedonia. Like trauma and depression, drugs change the structure of the brain. Drugs affect all parts of the body and can set of chain reactions. Everything in the body affects something else. The drug could have overstimulated receptors, caused a deficiency, and so forth.
