I’m currently on 100mg for a week now. I feel like the higher dose I go the worse I feel. I’m taking it for mood disorder that was recently diagnosed with but also have been having Anhedonia (had for over a year) and depression which comes and goes. I feel like since starting Lamictal I’m feeling worse. The depression is getting worse and although I’ve been feeling numb for a while, I don’t know how it could be any worse but I feel it. My cognitive issues are very apparent with remembering what I was about to do and word recall. Also misspelling words in emails for work. I’d rather be asleep than awake and have to deal with feeling this way. I’m on the fence if this medication is right for me. I’ve asked to add Wellbutrin but doctor said let’s see how you do on this because if I add then we don’t know which one is helping or not helping. I’m at a breaking point. Appointment is tomorrow and I’m afraid to go up in dosage because of how it makes me feel each time I increase. Any advice would really be appreciated.

Last year I was on Semaglutide for 3 months and during those months I started to noticed I was feeling no emotion, felt no interest in anything, and just couldn’t feel any positive feelings or joy in anything basically all the symptoms of Anhedonia. I’ve been off of it for a year now this May and I am still suffering from it. 10 years ago I was diagnosed with ADHD and 5 years ago with PTSD and GAD. and I’ve been through some traumatic events in my life and last year October experienced another and I had no emotion, couldn’t cry. Just absolutely felt nothing when it happened and I couldn’t figure out why. I was put on Trintellix , doctor thinking it’s depression but it made me angry and irritable so my doctor took me off of it. I was recently diagnosed with a mood disorder and just started Lamictal 3 weeks ago and titrating up to therapeutic dose. All my lab work is normal and ruled out any hormone issues. I’ve been able to manage my disorders and how I felt up until last year when I got on Semaglutide last year. I take Vyvanse 30mg for ADHD and Trazodone for sleep which is under control but for the life of me I still feel nothing. No joy, interest in the things I once loved, feel flat and empty inside. Decreased social interaction, non existent libido, no laughing or sense of humor anymore. I really miss those feelings!!

Feeling like this for a year and now just connecting the dots after my doctor just asked me about it today. Has anyone experienced this for so long after stopping GLP-1? I’ve tried exercising, doing activities to activate dopamine, I eat healthy, have tried everything. Has anyone found relief with medication?
