Hey guys,

I have schizoaffective bipolar type and have had pretty bad anhedonia for 2 1/2 years. A little over a week ago I started lamictal and since then I have been feeling a sort of calm, felt some euphoria listening to music a day ago which I havent felt in a long time, and have noticed I have some motivation to get out of bed and on with the day in the morning. Are these early signs the lamictal will help fix the anhedonia?

Hello, diagnosed Schizoaffective, Bipolar type here. I had my first psychotic break in May 2023 and have had severe anhedonia since September of 2023. How is anhedonia for others here? Has anyone regained their sense of joy and pleasure after their first break and being on meds? I’m hoping to regain emotions and sense of joy and pleasure at some point, I’ve noticed it come back slightly every once in awhile.
