Anhedonia workarounds- feel like I’m slogging thru mud!

[DidntMakeBrownies]

So my anhedonia is definitely not bad enough to consider d/c tirz, but for 24-48 hours after I pin, I feel like everything I’m doing is done in waist-deep mud. Just so hard to initiate or sustain anything I’m not actually mandated to do. By day 3 I feel better and by day 4 it’s gone. Anyone found any short-term workarounds for those two post shot days? Like artificial motivation??

Interested myself. Upped my dose and next 2 days blah.

I’m so curious about if there’s anything that can be done or tried because I don’t actually 100% hate it- on those two days my anxiety is actually better and I am profoundly unbothered by the things that usually stress me out. But would be great to maybe be a little more productive on those days.

I don’t typically have anxiety. More of wired tired is my usual self. But for the two days after my shot I have a restless leg issue and well underfunded in the energy department. I stay hydrated, eat my macros, and follow my plan. Just more lethargic and sloth like in my movements and my thoughts.

Currently using .4mg Semax day after the shot or as needed and it's helping. Also have successfully used Bromantane 100mg under the tongue ( 1g dissolved in 10 ml MTC C8 oil)

My work around is Marijuana. It is part of my stack. My dosage is one pre roll a day split in two dosages.

Yup, I quit GLPs due to this.
Do NOT ever try Reta (or Semaglutide), as they are even worse for anhedonia (there’s a science reason for that, something to do with GIP).
Be very wary and slow with increasing doses.

Semax helped.
I take Modafinil anyway, but if you’re new to Modafinil it would help a lot.

I went down routes like L-Tyrosine, but all they did was give me anxiety instead!

SS-31 4mg has helped me. So have ketone drinks.

As someone who has had depression for a long time - the only thing you can do is just build your habits to get stuff done. Start a small task. Do another small task and the momentum builds eventually.

Feeling the same, afte showers I'm KO and takes couple of hours to get up. Ordered NAD+ and lets see if helps.

When I upped my dose from 2.5mg to 5mg I felt the same way. After a few weeks my body caught up and it got better. Smaller increases may help as well as split dosing so you introduce a smaller amount twice a week.

I take 5HTP.
I have dealt with anhedonia and depression since I was a teenager. I've used 5HTP for mood regulation in the past. So when I found myself feeling flat and disinterested in things after starting tirz, l started taking it again and I think it really helps.

Hmm, for some reason I hadn't considered that. Silly, since I have some in the cabinet. Thanks for jogging my memory. Gonna give that a try myself
