Iam to this day 3 years of an SSRI and still have it. Thank you for this video.
I've had Anehdonia all the way through my taper, and I'm still not off yet!
I’m sorry, Mike. It’s such an unusual and alienating feeling.
Me too getting up is soooo hard but i get my ☕️ and im ok ish
Exactly!!! Never heard of the name, I’am a professional Wildlife and Nature Artist I haven’t been able to pain in over a 18 months. There’s no connection to my surroundings or subjects. Also my living comes from painting. I bought a coloring book and crayons!! So glad to hear this is a thing. 2 yrs off Kolonipin. Thanks so much Dan this video helped me a lot. ❤️
Awesome! Is there anywhere I can see your artwork? I adore nature art.
Helpful as always Dan. Good description of Anhedonia. Must add that like many others facing this challenge it is made even more complicated when what use to bring us an extreme amount of pleasure was any type of physical WORK. Being into construction for many years was a complete joy after accomplishing many projects. Unfortunately besides the problems with getting off these horrible drugs, many like myself are now suffering from serious physical restrictions (eg: heart and/or pulmonary chronic illnesses) that no longer allow us to do the physical activities you suggested. There exist therefore the Anhedonia along side the fact that even if we were able to be motivated enough to get away from the "lay and pray" syndrome...we literally cannot physically do any of these activities. It is however encouraging to hear from you that there is hope, that the ability of being able to feel once again, is still out there. Thank you.
Thanks for this valuable and insightful comment. You are right- so many ill effects from these drugs. God, it’s absolutely devastating.
@@philosophicalfishing Thanks Dan....though I do have to clarify (in my case) that the additional chronic illnesses did not stem from the drugs themselves. Bad diet, smoking, and other life style choices are simply coming back to bite at the same time the complications from the bad effects of these drugs are occurring. Just to clarify. Take care!
@@nwicconsultants6640 I appreciate your honesty and I feel that anything that we had going on before gets amplified too.
Sending you BLESSINGS. Thank you for your words 🙏, compassion and kindness.
Thank you for this message. I'm 14 months off and I started walking in month 5. I dont even know how I did it back then. I really had no choice. I'm in a bad living situation in a duplex. My horrible neighbor moved in Feb 22 right when I started my 6 month taper. I unfortunately can't relocate right now and feel so stuck. My only escape was to get out and walk. I do it every day but it still isn't easy and now it's getting colder. I live in Wisconsin. 🥶
I do agree that getting outside and doing something is helpful. A great pair of noise canceling headphones and music helps. I remember when I couldn't even listen to music. I didn't like anything not even my favorite artist's. Now I love it, so I guess there's some healing.
I was just telling someone that I still don't feel that great endorphin rush, at all. I get some of my frustrations out and that's it but I keep going because it keeps me kinda sane. I can't wait to feel that again.
Thanks for this because I was wondering if it was just me. Wishing joy for everyone at the end of the nightmare. ❤️🎄❤️
I’m sorry for your situation but it sounds like you’re doing all you can- and that’s all you can do.
@philosophicalfishing Thank you. You are right, I've learned to adapt to many situations going through this, as I'm sure many others have learned too.
Hi, Pamela. The endorphin rush? The feeling that reminds us we are so lucky to be alive and feeling? It comes back. It surely does. Go easy on yourself; you’re doing good enough right now in a less than desirable living situation. Music, ohhh, boy! Get ready. I feel like a teenager listening to my fav music for the first time. It’s beautiful, Sis. ❤
I'm on month 18 of being off my cocktail and am having a wave of symptoms. Was just thinking earlier if there's going to be any more enjoyment of life ahead of me. The isolation is very challenging. Thanks for addressing this. It helps in staying positive.
Hi, Michael. I’m so sorry you are suffering, and I can 100% empathize, but I promise: You WILL feel your Life again. All that makes being Human so beautiful, all we were made for, one day again. This journey will be a distant memory. Stay hopeful, you are healing. ❤️🩹🎣🙏🏻
@@donna6165Thank you for the inspiration Donna. I am looking forward to the good times ahead. Wish you a healthy holiday season and new year ahead!
@@michaeljlinkYou got it, Michael. 🙏🏻 You are so very welcome; I am Here. ❤️🩹
Thank you. I’ll be quietly and cozily celebrating 5 years Benzofree on 12/23. With my twin brother, who was my caretaker. Still is, lol 😉What a road, lawdy, but…still we’re driving. 💪🏻 Merry Christmas and we’ll chat again soon. One breath, one step and then the next, Brother. ❤️🩹
@@donna6165 I have permanent anhedonia.
These drug are not safe
I hope my enjoyment for life returns and my drive to exercise. I literally do not enjoy a single thing at the moment. This gives me hope ♥️
I get this time to time. You feel nothing, accept everything.. Death no longer scares you at all. It's a very odd feeling. Walking around with that thousand yard stare. First felt it when I lost my soulmate, had nothing to do with detox. But now it's detox. Ppl really don't understand losing your mind on top of all the physical shit. I have noticed the feeling goes away eventually, so far.
Thanks Dan. Your very encouraging. Yup. Have this too! I can’t wait to get my wit and creative writing BACK. It sucks muffins. Please take care of yourself. Paula
Paula- it does suck. And I’m adding “sucks muffins” to my vocab.
You may miss your wit, but your charm is spot on, Sis. 😉❤️🩹 ps: Me too, Dan. 😆
It’s also DP/DR that’s mixed with the anhedonia. Thanks Dan❤
Yep, I had that too.
Lonnie, yes. Oh, my…DR and DP was the most terrifying and confusing symtoms for me; thank God, it didn’t stick around long. Those two things def improved/dissipated when: my SLEEP began to become more restorative. Sending you strength and love today, Sis. We breathe Together. ❤️🩹
@@donna6165 ❤️👍👌
1004days off so many drugs
@@donna6165 do u feel heaviness in chest i quit smoking in December 2020 quit benzos ssri snri antidepressants alcohol and CAFFEINE and telmisartan 40mg in march 2021 at same time.90 percent healed now i smoke 2 3 cigarettes daily but feel chest pressure or heavy chest.dp dr is not as severe as it was low energy symptoms are improving now 1004days off now
Its so lonely, theres no words to describe it well. It appears im lazy. hope is slipping away.
It is extremely isolating and lonely. No one understands... I look lazy. It is really hard to keep going.
I experience it from time to time but manageable. Tapering benzo on my next refill this weekend.
Keep trucking! You’re making progress
It s feel like your just existing but not living life. You feel dead. You see everyone laughing and enjoying friends family. You are just empty.
Yeah it is hell on earth..I am off well over a year and only gotten worse
I still don’t have excitement I feel like I’m not getting pleasure like what is wrong with me ? Why are these emotions gone ? Why am I not getting these dopamine rushes or feeling good inside . I hope it’s not blocked forever. These great feelings are what makes us humans and life great
Absolutely !!! It's like your the walking dead.
I didnt even get anhedonia from psych meds and im 1 year into this hell. Extreme chronic stress is the only thing that makes sense for me. Its hell
Thank you, Dan ❤ I am currently experiencing the worst anhedonia of my whole life. It’s exactly like you said, I don’t feel anything. What makes it worse is that I really want to and it’s really frightening. I appreciate you and your videos. Again, truly wonderful of you to share your experience with the rest of us.
I’ve had this reaction when I switched from a short acting to a long acting benzo. Untethered is the word I’ve been using to define it. It’s one of the worst sensations I’ve ever experienced.
It’s a terrible thing to experience. I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with it.
I am off benzo's 7 months 3 days..I can't handle this intense anhedonia
It sucks, Russ. Have you had it consistently the last 7 months?
@@philosophicalfishing had It for over a year and a half..I'm getting worse
@@RussConstant-g9b7 months, 7 days today, lucky number seven. Kudos to you. 💪🏻Truly, because it’s the most hellacious journey one could never imagine. Your joy, your zest, your passion, your energy? Your ability to FEEL your Life? It returns. Very, very slowly, for most, but our nervous system eventually calms and recalibrates, and the trauma of this brutality neutralizes. One breath, one step. 🙏🏻It’s all Happening for each of us, in our Time, in our Way. ❤️🩹
Great video, it cheered me up 😊 Do you hear much from people who have...I guess you'd call it internal vibrations (I call them "brain glitches") or maybe mini seizures? I literally lost the ability to move temporarily while driving 2 weeks ago & totaled my car. I'm up to date on the benzo info but this seems bizarre at 8 months off.
Thank you for this. I am sorry that you went through it too. That is very very bad. It’s the most insane non-feeling like you are an alien You are lucky for only a couple of months. I’ve had it 6 years now. 2 years of them off all meds. It makes me want to do drugs like smoke weed and stuff but I tried that and still felt nothing. I’m beginning to wonder if I’ve got PSsD thats blunted emotions. I’ve heard that can be permanent. Yes you’re correct about the dopamine. It turns it off. From people, I have seen with the PSsD some people have been able to get their emotions back by doing stuff to the gut I guess because all our neurotransmitters are created in our gut. Probably not absorbing enough nutrients into the body to make the dopamine or whatever.
Is pssd also associated with anhedonia?
Gut? Nutrients?
Nah, desensitization of receptor.
Anhedonia since 2013 here. No inprovements.
Yes @@philosophicalfishing
Hi Dan, are you talking about benzowithdrawal? For me, and i'm 12,5 months off benzos, it's still not possible to work or so training!
Anhedonia can happen with benzos and other psych meds such as antidepressants or antipsychotics
I tried every olly supplement that helps the brain it’s like nothing works it’s nuts
I'm dying every day. I was on many drugs for my OCD and then they misdiagnosed me with bipolar put me on many other drugs my life is over. It's been six months. I am off my meds, but it's like nightmare😢 Akhatisia,anhedonia, cognitive impairment, insomnia, DPDR, racing thoughts, and severe mood swings،Hyper sensitive nervous system. Hyper salivation,horrofic nightmare. I'm getting worse every day. I can't take it anymore 😢😢 I really want to live, but I can't take it anymore. I am so close to suside everyday.
I started being more active again playing golf etc but I have gotten into a funk and stopped my forward progress. Your right I can't just sit around and hope it gets better anymore. I have to shit or get off the pot.
Hi, B. 👐 I am Here with you and we are healing. Let’s stay proud of our progress and optimistic about our future. ✊🏻Funks happen; I am in one at present with my Sleep again, Brother. 🥹 We carry on. We’re getting better. And, we breathe Together. ❤️🩹🎣🙏🏻
@@donna6165 Donna Awesome need I say more lol. Sorry you are going thru some funk as well with your brother. I am just ready to heal completely. The ups n downs get exhausting I thought I was past this part but I guess things might end up being better after all this. Really needed to hear from you today. I hope all is well much love Bob
@@bobbobarino6213My brother. 🫂 Appreciate the encouragement, as always, Mr. Bob B Awesome. We’re okay. 👐
How did you know you where better? Like do you just wake up on day and stuff feels good and so on? Or ?
I would describe it as a very slow process with almost imperceptible progress. Then, one day you look back and realize you have been feeling better.
I feel like that noones real i feel fake a walking ghost no emotions. Plus its hard to find coping skills for it . Its 28 months it seems worse. I csnt go out this way. Will it go?
thank God for you! l didn’t know what anhedonia is! l feel this way, after 18 yrs on benzodiazepines
I cant go for walks. Cant exercise. Does that mean I have brain injury? Destroyed CNS, nerves muscles?
@@Snowflake1374 everyone is so different. It will come back
@@philosophicalfishing Its so hard. Thank you!
What am I supposed to do, I'm on antipsychotics... Haven't felt ANYTHING in 4 years...
Do you remember the moment you felt pleasure, or a positive feeling for the first time after all the withdrawal?
It was gradual along the way. Little moments of joy would return and be fleeting until they kept getting better with longer windows
@@philosophicalfishing I imagine for myself it'll feel like a child on Christmas morning. Thank you for the hope you offer that only one who has experienced this can truly offer
Hey what’s your withdrawal story Beth?
@@djammer It's too much to type here unfortunately. The short version. The antidepressant I was on for 4.5 years was increased and I developed severe akathisia. It's been months of hell since then(May 2023).
@@bethgra2007 very sorry to hear that, are you tapering down? I developed mild akathisia after a terrible time trying to find a drug to get on
Is there anyway you can coach me I have insurance tapering 2.5 mgs of valium.
Hi Kevin. I would love to. Unfortunately, coaching is not covered by insurance. However, you’ll probably find that I one of the most affordable coaches around.
@@philosophicalfishing yeah how much per meeting??
@@kevinpittman8170 check out my website-

@@philosophicalfishing cool I'm following you're pretty booked up 😆
@@kevinpittman8170 right on. I’m currently booking 10 days out so if you don’t see a time that works for you just wait another 6-12 hours and more times should appear. I’m also currently working on opening more hours in January
Wow😢..I get it
I have it, but I’m still tapering, is that normal, I have all the other symptoms too. Chemical fear, weakness, pain, depression etc.
Yes, it is very normal while tapering. Sorry that you’re going through it
Ive had anhedonia due to antipsychotic
Is there any treatment?
Hey, I'm going through the same thing. How are you feeling now?
Dan, anhedonia only lasted 2 months in your withdrawal?
Yeah around that time
That worries me because I still struggle a bit with apathy and the derealization is still really pervasive at more than 18 months off of a rapid taper from an antidepressant.
@@Uma921 I know, but don’t compare yourself to me because I had other horrible symptoms that lasted years but others healed more quickly from. So, it doesn’t mean that you won’t heal
Thanks. Dan :)
