Hi there yourself. I've taken Brintellix for nine months after taking Lexapro for over a year, and I did and do feel an improvement of cognition and less anhedonia. For me, I'm hoping the anhedonia as the last lingering symptom of super long etc depression, and I'm optimistic that will lift over time.
10 mg wasn't too much help, but 20 mg does it.
Good luck with whatever you chose. Anhedonia is a bitch.

I know SSRIs work for some, but I always felt very numb, foggy and detached on them -- which made me feel stuck in a limbo and unable to engage with anything. I need to feel some responsiveness to stimuli and my environment. I believe Brintellix improves cognition, which is a plus.
