Link, were you able to experience pleasure before you began the meds? If yes, then I wonder why even begin them in the first place? Was depression coexistent with moments of happiness, joy, and pleasure?
When I started meds around 7 yrs ago, I went through a period of 6 months unable to experience pleasure in any way, with on and off misery for several more years before that.
I don't want to appear like an apologist for the meds, because a day doesn't go by that I didn't wish for another way, but in my experience, I was unable to experience pleasure (sexual, and other forms like enjoyment in daily life) before the meds. When I try to withdraw, the feeling of inability to find joy in life appears not as a result of the meds but rather as return of the former self.
Just curious.
