I found this thread after doing a google search on anhedonia treatment. I am anhedonic without being terribly depressed and anti-depressents (I've tried a lot) don't seem to affect that at all.
Coincidentally, I have taken Mirapex for a long time, usually .375 a day for restless leg syndrome. I can take up to .3 a day and may experiment a little to see if there is any change in my ability to feel pleasure. But I can't say that it has made any difference. I may also ask my doctor about Parnate.
Other research that I've found seems to indicate that anhedonia is related to a deficit in mental visualization. I discovered a long time ago that I can't see pictures in my head, only black. It explained my spatial difficulties, getting easily lost, not liking highly descriptive literature, etc. Now is also seems that it my be a factor in my anhedonia.
I'm wondering of anyone else has experienced this.
