I have been going for a running recently and it was very helpful for my depression episode.

I overtrained yesterday and my left foot got injured. I can't go for a running and I am just miserable in my bed. I could really use some kind words.

I have MDD and ADHD, and I’m starting Trintellix 5mg today. My doctor prescribed it along with Wellbutrin XL 300mg.

I’d really love to hear some positive experiences or success stories, especially from anyone who’s taken Trintellix with Wellbutrin or has a similar diagnosis.

It feels like it’s taking forever to find the right medication combo for me, and honestly, the whole trial-and-error process has been really frustrating and exhausting.

anyone who takes this combo and end up helping your depression? How long did it take before you started noticing a difference?

​

To keep my story short, I have been suffering since I was born. Depression runs in my family.

My father abused me sexually, mentally, and physically from when I was little, and my mother died early of cancer.

At school, I was teased for being strange and not washing well, and I had no friends. I couldn’t even finish college because of ADHD and depression.

Then there was a dog who gave me a reason to live. He was a stray dog, and I adopted and raised him, but he was already old when I adopted him, so he lived with me for five years before going to heaven with dementia and many complications. He died 3 months ago.

My life has been stained with abuse, trauma, grief and psychosis. I am so broke, I can't even keep a job because of mental illness and bad health condition.

I went to a psychiatrist to try living a better life, but I was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and was prescribed a combination of two antipsychotics, two benzodiazepines, and many other medications, and since then I have been suffering from unbearable anhedonia.

It’s painful to wake up every morning. I have no hope left.

I’m going to write a suicide note so my family can see it and end everything. I’ll ask them to use the little money left in my bank account for the funeral, and for street animals and rescue dogs.

Thank you to the Redditors who have helped me all this time. I’ll say my final goodbye.

Sorry for my English. English is not my 1st language.

I am even tired of writing this venting post

My diagnosis:ADHD+MDD

A year ago I got misdiagnosed as Bipolar and the doctor gave me 2 APs(Latuda 40mg and quetiapine 12.5mg) and 2 Benzos(Alprazolam 0.5mg and Klonopin 0.5mg)

Things started going south since then

Eventually I fired him and met a new psychiatrist, I quit Latuda, Quetiapine and Alprazolam recently.

In morning I take concerta 36mg

Before going to bed I take Klonopin 0.5mg

My goal is to quit all psych medications except for Concerta.

I am sick and tired of waking up with severe anhedonia everyday.

Will I ever recover? I feel like they did me chemical lobotomy on my brains. I need a job, I need to work, I am so broke. But this health condition can't let me keep a job. I am so ill. I just want to die while asleep.

Hi everyone,

I’m 29 years old and have been diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. I also have sleep apnea and use CPAP.

I’ve been struggling recently with severe anhedonia, emotional blunting, lack of motivation, cognitive dulling, very low appetite, and almost no libido. Because I’m taking several psychiatric medications at the same time, I honestly don’t know how much of this is coming from my underlying conditions versus medication side effects.

I’ve recently started learning more about benzodiazepine dependence and withdrawal, and I would really appreciate some advice from people who have experience tapering, especially anyone who has taken both alprazolam and clonazepam at the same time.

Here is the information requested:

1. What benzodiazepine or z-drug do you wish to taper?

I would eventually like to taper off both alprazolam (Xanax/Zanapam) and clonazepam.

I am currently taking both of them at night, so I am particularly interested in whether people generally taper one at a time, and which one is usually tapered first in a situation like mine.

2. When did you start taking this medication?

I was already taking alprazolam by at least May 2026.

In May, my prescribed nighttime dose of alprazolam was approximately 1 mg, and it was later reduced to 0.5 mg nightly.

Clonazepam 0.5 mg was added to my nighttime medication regimen sometime before late August 2026. Unfortunately, I do not remember the exact starting date.

3. What is your current dose and dosing schedule?

My prescribed benzodiazepine regimen is:

• Alprazolam 0.5 mg once nightly
• Clonazepam 0.5 mg once nightly

I normally take both together before bed.

4. Are you taking any other medications, supplements, or psychotropic substances?

My current psychiatric medications are:

• Concerta (methylphenidate) 36 mg every morning
• Latuda (lurasidone) 40 mg every night
• Quetiapine 12.5 mg every night
• Alprazolam 0.5 mg every night
• Clonazepam 0.5 mg every night

Relevant medication history:

• Concerta was previously increased to 45 mg and later reduced back to 36 mg.
• Earlier in 2026, I was also prescribed escitalopram and bupropion, but these were discontinued.
• I have been taking Latuda 40 mg since at least May 2026.
• I have also been taking low-dose quetiapine (12.5 mg) at night since at least May 2026.

Supplements I have recently used include:

• Vitamin D
• Vitamin C
• Magnesium glycinate
• Omega-3
• Iron
• Vitamin B
• L-theanine
• Inositol
• Taurine/arginine
• Milk thistle

I do not drink alcohol at all, and I do not use cannabis or recreational drugs.

I also received a progesterone injection (3 cc) in late August 2026 to induce a delayed menstrual period.

5. Have you ever tapered, tried tapering, or abruptly stopped any benzodiazepines or other psychotropic medications?

Yes.

Around August 27, 2026, because I was experiencing severe anhedonia and emotional blunting, I experimented with cutting my nighttime tablets and taking approximately three-quarters of my usual doses.

A few days later, around August 29–30, I took approximately half of my usual nighttime medication doses.

This was something I tried on my own rather than a structured benzodiazepine taper.

After reading more about benzodiazepine dependence and withdrawal, I became concerned that reducing the doses this quickly might not be safe. I want to stop experimenting with large reductions and instead learn how to approach this properly and gradually.

I have also previously stopped or changed other psychiatric medications, including escitalopram and bupropion, as part of changes to my treatment regimen.

6. Is the benzodiazepine you wish to taper having the desired effect? Or have you ever had to increase your dose to get the same effect?

I am honestly not sure how much benefit I am currently getting from the benzodiazepines.

I originally took them as part of my nighttime regimen for anxiety and sleep, but I am now experiencing significant daytime problems including emotional blunting, lack of motivation, sedation, and cognitive dulling.

I have not knowingly increased my benzodiazepine dose because of tolerance. In fact, my alprazolam prescription was previously higher, at around 1 mg nightly, and was later reduced to 0.5 mg.

7. Do you feel withdrawal symptoms in between doses or when you miss or skip a dose, or do symptoms increase as you approach your dose time?

I am not sure.

Because I normally take both benzodiazepines once at night and have not carefully tracked my symptoms according to dosing time, I cannot confidently say whether I experience interdose withdrawal.

This is something I would like to start paying closer attention to.

8. Do you experience adverse or paradoxical reactions within an hour or so of taking the medication?

I have not clearly identified a paradoxical reaction such as increased agitation, aggression, or severe anxiety shortly after taking them.

My main concerns are more general sedation, emotional blunting, lack of motivation, cognitive dulling, and severe anhedonia, although I cannot tell which medication or underlying condition is responsible.

9. Are you over the age of 65 and/or in frail health?

No. I am 29 years old.

10. Do you have other health issues we should be aware of?

Yes. My relevant health conditions include:

• ADHD
• Bipolar disorder
• Depression
• Anxiety and panic attacks
• Sleep apnea, for which I use CPAP
• Autonomic nervous system dysfunction

Recently, my biggest problem has been severe anhedonia. I feel very little pleasure or motivation, my appetite has significantly decreased, and my libido is almost nonexistent.

Because I am taking several psychiatric medications at the same time, I don’t know how much of this is related to my underlying conditions versus medication side effects.

My goal is not to stop everything suddenly. I want to taper the benzodiazepines cautiously and sustainably and minimize withdrawal symptoms as much as possible.

I would especially appreciate hearing from anyone who has tapered while taking both alprazolam and clonazepam.

I’m particularly wondering:

• Did you taper one benzodiazepine at a time or both?
• Which one did you taper first?
• Did you cross over from alprazolam to clonazepam or diazepam before tapering?
• Did you use a liquid taper, microtaper, scale, or compounded medication?
• How much did you reduce at a time, and how long did you hold between reductions?
• Did you need to slow down significantly as you reached lower doses?

I know everyone reacts differently, but hearing about other people’s experiences would really help me understand what options I can discuss with my psychiatrist.

Thank you for reading and for any advice you can share.

I am diagnosed with ADHD and Bipolar type 2

Is this a common psychiatric medication combination?

These are the psychiatric medications I’m currently taking:

At Morning:

Concerta 36 mg

At bedtime:

Latuda (lurasidone) 40 mg

Xanax (alprazolam) 0.5 mg

Clonazepam 0.5 mg

Quetiapine 12.5 mg

My anhedonia has gotten really severe lately. I can barely feel pleasure or enjoyment from anything, I have almost no motivation, and both my appetite and libido have dropped significantly. My sex drive is basically nonexistent at this point.

I just don’t feel like doing anything anymore, and getting through each day like this has been incredibly difficult.

I posted my medication list in another online community, and several people pointed out that Latuda and quetiapine are both atypical antipsychotics, while alprazolam and clonazepam are both benzodiazepines. They suggested that I ask my psychiatrist why I’m taking two medications from each of those classes at the same time.

Has anyone here ever been prescribed a similar combination? I’m also curious whether this kind of combination is relatively common in psychiatric practice.

I’d especially like to hear from people who have experience with any of these medications or a similar combination.

At my next appointment, I’m planning to ask my psychiatrist exactly what each medication is intended to treat and whether it might be possible to simplify my regimen. for example, whether I actually need two antipsychotics and two benzodiazepines, or whether some of them could eventually be reduced or discontinued under medical supervision.

Right now, I’m particularly wondering whether Latuda could be contributing to my anhedonia. Has anyone experienced severe emotional blunting, loss of pleasure, lack of motivation, or loss of libido while taking Latuda?

I’m not planning to make medication changes based solely on Reddit advice — I’m mainly looking for other people’s experiences so I can have a better-informed conversation with my psychiatrist.

Any experiences or thoughts would be appreciated.

English is not my first language So I used Chatgpt as a translator.

I’m currently struggling with extremely severe anhedonia. I have almost no pleasure, motivation, libido, appetite, or desire to do anything, and honestly it has become incredibly difficult to tolerate.

My current medications are:

Concerta (methylphenidate) — I’m NOT planning to change this one

Latuda (lurasidone) 40 mg

Xanapam / alprazolam 0.5 mg

Clonazepam 0.5 mg

Quetiapine 12.5 mg

My next psychiatrist appointment isn’t until September 3, and right now that feels like an extremely long time to wait because the anhedonia is so severe.

I already used a pill cutter to divide the Latuda, alprazolam, clonazepam, and quetiapine tablets into four pieces. I’m considering starting tonight by taking 3/4 of my usual dose of each of those medications while leaving Concerta unchanged.

I know changing several psychiatric medications at the same time on my own is not ideal, and I’m not asking Reddit to prescribe a tapering schedule for me. I’m mainly desperate to hear from people who have actually experienced something similar.

What do you think about reducing all of these medications to 3/4 at once?

I’m finding it incredibly hard to just wait until September 3 while feeling this emotionally numb. I would really appreciate hearing real experiences from anyone who has been through this.

What do you think about reducing all of these medications to 3/4 at once? Has anyone here reduced several medications simultaneously because of severe emotional blunting/anhedonia?

If you experienced antipsychotic-induced anhedonia:

Did reducing your antipsychotic help?

How quickly did you notice any improvement in emotions, motivation, libido, appetite, or ability to enjoy things?

Did symptoms temporarily get worse during tapering?

Did you reduce one medication at a time or several at once?

Is there anything you wish you had known before you started tapering?

If you eventually reduced or discontinued it:

• How long did it take before you noticed any change?
• Did you taper slowly or stop relatively quickly?
• Did you experience withdrawal symptoms?
• Did your emotions, motivation, libido, or ability to enjoy things come back gradually or suddenly?
• Looking back, is there anything you wish you had known before tapering?

I am not looking for instructions on what dose I personally should take, and I know Reddit isn’t a substitute for medical advice. I’m mainly trying to understand other people’s real experiences, especially the timeline of recovery.

I’d really appreciate hearing both positive and negative experiences.

I’m a 29yo woman in South Korea with bipolar disorder, severe ADHD, depression, and anxiety. My anhedonia has become unbearable. I have no appetite, no sex drive, no motivation, and no desire to do or experience anything. Nothing feels rewarding or enjoyable anymore. I’m not really living...

I’m just staying alive because I can’t bring myself to die.

I currently take Concerta 27 mg in the morning. At night, I take Latuda 40 mg, alprazolam 0.5 mg, clonazepam 0.5 mg, and quetiapine 12.5 mg. Despite being on medication, I feel emotionally numb and completely disconnected from life.

I also took Mounjaro for a while. My final injection was about three months ago, and I haven’t taken it since. I don’t know whether it could be related to my current condition, but I wanted to mention the timeline in case anyone has experienced something similar.

My psychiatrist and I have tried different medications, but I still feel this way. I’m planning to transfer my care to the psychiatry department at a university hospital.

I’m considering ECT or Spravato because I’m desperate for something that might help, but I don’t have enough money to afford either treatment.

Has anyone here experienced anhedonia this severe? Did ECT, Spravato, changing medication, or anything else genuinely help you? I would especially appreciate hearing from people with bipolar disorder or anyone who experienced similar symptoms after stopping Mounjaro.

There’s nothing I want to do, nothing I want to eat, and nowhere I want to go.

I’m estranged from my family. I adopted an old, sick dog and raised him like my own child for five years, and he passed away about three months ago.

No matter how hard my life got, I always managed to keep going. But now I feel like I’ve lost my reason to live. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do anymore. I don’t want to eat anything, do anything, or go anywhere.

Recently, I also lost my job because I was being bullied at work. I applied for a one-day shift at a warehouse tomorrow, and I really hope they give me the job.

I don’t have any friends or a boyfriend. I’m also struggling financially because I went into debt paying my dog’s vet bills.

Sometimes I wonder if God even exists. And if He does, why has He left me in such a miserable place and acted like He doesn’t see me?

I’m 29, Korean, and I’m finally starting a bachelor’s degree program this September.

First of all English is not my 1st language so I used ChatGPT translator

I know 29 probably doesn’t sound that old to some people, but living in Korea, I constantly feel like I’m way behind everyone else.

I feel like I lost most of my 20s to bipolar disorder and anxiety. There were years when simply getting through everyday life felt like all I could manage.

More recently, my dog passed away. He was the first dog I ever rescued and adopted, and he was already an old dog when he came into my life. I cared for him like he was my child. A huge part of my life revolved around taking care of him, especially as he got older and sicker.

After he died, it felt like all the meaning and enjoyment in my life disappeared with him.

I recently managed to get a new job, and for a little while I thought maybe things were finally starting to turn around. But I ended up quitting because of bullying and a really unhealthy work environment.

And now I’m back to wondering what I’m supposed to do with my life.

In Korea, it feels almost impossible to build a decent career without a university degree. So I decided that I need to do something for my future, even if I’m starting later than most people.

I’ve been accepted into an online bachelor’s degree program starting this September. It’ll take me four years to graduate, which means I’ll be around 33 when I finish.

That thought scares me.

People around me keep telling me I’m too late, that I’ve already messed up my life, and that people my age are getting married, buying cars, saving for apartments, and building careers.

Meanwhile, I’m starting university from scratch at 29.

I also have debt from years of veterinary bills, and I still struggle with mental health issues.

Sometimes when I look at my situation as a whole, I genuinely can’t see a way out. It feels like I’m standing inside a very long, very dark tunnel.

But I’m still trying.

I’m going back to school. I’m trying to find work again. I’m trying to rebuild my life one piece at a time.

I guess I’m posting this because I really need to hear from someone who started over later in life.

Is 29 really too late to start a degree and rebuild your career?

If you were lost in your late 20s or 30s and somehow found your way, I’d really love to hear your story.

I’m not looking for some magical solution. I think I just need a little hope right now.

Even a few kind words from a stranger would mean more to me than you probably realize.

First of all English is not my native language so I used ChatGPT for translation but this is my real story🥺🥹

I have ADHD, and today was my first day at a pizza restaurant.

I wanted this job to work out so badly. I really needed it financially, and I promised myself I would do my best.

But from the moment I started, I was flooded with information. They explained dozens of things in a short amount of time, and before I could process one task, I had to switch to another.

The hardest part wasn't the physical work. It was the constant multitasking.

Someone would ask me to do one thing, then another person would immediately ask for something else, customers needed help, food had to be prepared, and I completely froze.

My brain couldn't decide what to do first. I started panicking, and it felt like my mind just shut down.

After about five hours, I had a panic attack. I stepped outside, told the manager honestly that I couldn't continue, returned my apron and radio, apologized, and left.

I feel so guilty because they gave me a chance, and I feel like I let everyone down.

I keep wondering:

Is this something other people with ADHD experience?

Do you also struggle when you're suddenly expected to juggle multiple tasks at once?

Were you eventually able to adapt, or did you realize that fast-paced restaurant jobs simply weren't compatible with the way your brain works?

Right now I just feel heartbroken and embarrassed. I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences because I feel incredibly alone today. 💜

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced something similar.

I've been charged KRW 9,900 every month for Canva Pro through KakaoPay, but I have no idea which Canva account the subscription is linked to.

I have multiple email addresses and I've checked all of them, but none of them show an active Canva Pro subscription.

I've already contacted Canva Support and my case has been escalated to their specialized team. They asked me to wait for their investigation.

I'm just curious if anyone else has been in this situation.

• Were you eventually able to find the correct Canva account?
• How did Canva verify which account the subscription belonged to?
• Were they able to cancel it or issue a refund?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience. Thank you!
