It went away with most other crap after 3 months out.

Eating fish as your daily protein can help as well. 

On days you do not eat fish, a fish oil supplement can make a lot of difference too.

Like @[PE...] said, coffee may help motivate you and motivation decreases (temporarily) anhedonia.

If you are having issues with anxiety and panic you may want to be very careful with how much caffeine you take.

A small amount of caffeine is perfectly fine in withdrawal as per Dr. Ashton.

@[Cr...] I tried a few sips and it threw me back into a wave will this settle by tommorow ? I feel super anxious right now and sound sensitivity is back !

I don't think it threw you back into a wave. I think your cns is very sensitive right now and any stimulants might cause bad anxiety or racing thoughts. 

Whatever the case, it should not take too long for this flare-up to subside. Don't fault yourself for trying to find relief. Just be more cautious.

Caffeine is an amphetamine and gives you a rush of dopamine. 

When you say anhedonia do you really mean depression?  There is a subtle difference. 

Complete anhedonia itself likely means you would get no rush or pleasure from alcohol or sex too. It often happens from AD withdrawal. A different but no less harmful and toxic chemical. Its todays benzo now that the word is out about benzos. Ruining more lives.

Anhedonia won’t get helped from coffee. It’s a neuro  chemical issue caused by injury to the brain. It will resolve or lessen with time.

I’m one of the worst cases. Still healing and dealing with protracted symptoms. Anhedonia is one of the worst things after akathisia.

im still waiting to feel . My body is floating in space and my face is like a mask. No emotion.

Feels like I’ve been brain damaged permanently but we all feel that way. I’m trusting that I will get better. And so must you,

and no, you will not FEEL like you are going to get better. I started to get small spurts where I could feel something’s inside besides terror and doom and thoughts of dying from the emotional void, then it goes back to feeling nothing. Guess this is slow healing happening, that is what they say.
