“I suffer from SSRI/ Antipsychotic Induced Anhedonia. The worst symptom I have is nearly a complete emotional blunting and blank mind where it’s very debilitating. I have tried rTMS, ketamine infusion, and some other various supplements and medications here and there but to not much avail as of now.
