Hey guys new to this site, it seemed like it had a decent amount of information but I'd like to see if anyone can address my problem specifically.
Basically I abused marijuana for a little over a year. When I stopped I had a host of problems including extreme anxiety/depression. As time went on things did not get any better so I went to a psychiatrist and she put me on several SSRI/SNRI medications that made me completely apathetic/blunted/ and all I wanted to do was sleep. She said I have a "dopamine issue" she prescribed me Aderall XR and it sort of helped but id crash very hard at the end of the day. I would describe what I'm experiencing as "Anhedonia" with a blunted emotions of some sort.
I then started researching ways to possibly repair my dopamine receptors? I'm not a medical genius by any means but have tried uridine for months, along with fish oil and multi vitamins and I'm getting absolutely nowhere.
Am I totally screwed for the rest of my life by abusing marijuana for over a year? I've never heard of anyone being affected by it this much.
To be clear it's been almost 11 months since I've quit and I'm still in the same mentality I was in since quitting.
Does anyone have any recommendations/opinions?
Medically: I'm 6"0 175lbs, 24 years old, extremely healthy, go to the gym 5 times a week and do heavy lifting. I've had a host of blood tests trying to figure out what this could be but everything has come back fine except my cortisol levels are elevated, and my testosterone was about 470, free testosterone was also fine.
How I would describe how I feel on a daily basis is literally nothing gives me pleasure at all. I have zero sex drive, find it extremely difficult to socialize because I feel there is no point (reward).
Anyways this may not be the place to rant especially since my psychiatrist has told me it's a dopamine issue however she basically said this is how I'm going to have to live (wow...).
Any feedback is appreciated!
