Iam writting this thread in search for answeres regarding the situation I am in. My life feels just flat emotionally. It seams like nothing can fascinate me more. Through my whole life I have struggled with focus, attention, motivation but in the last 6 years life became less intresting. I dont know how to describe it but life feels as if my pleasure setpoint is lower as normal. I think it could be due to the lack of focus I struggle with. Maybe some kind of dopamine deficency is involved. For the last three month I was taking wellbutrin xl what somehow worsened my add pi. I felt more impulsive, less able to focus etc. Next week I have a appointment with a add specialist to see whats wrong with me. I feel emotionally flat. Iam missing feelings of pleasure, love, attatchment. Could it be that add or better said a serve dopamine defeciency is playing a role in my condition ? cocaine calms me and makes me feel emotions. I can take lots of cocaine without feeling hyper. Does anybody feel the same ? What can I do ?

answeres are appreciated

Yeah, lots of us feel that way.

Personally, a little bit more than 10 years.

Different things work for different people. But, ahedonia is generally accepted to be rather hard to treat.

See what your doc says, and share it here, would be interested to know

I know exactly what your talking about, in my case stimulants put those symptions in complete remission, i dont develop tolerance to those effects but its possible you need the addition of memantine.

If you throw junk like bupropion or some nootropic at it maybe, not saying they are bad but you need to send a big enough missile if the target is bigger.
