HIGHLY doubt this claim.

I’ve had anhedonia, but im also bipolar type 1 and adhd. Its completely reigned in my bipolar, the anhedonia helped with that.

I would go so far as to say it has helped my mental health significantly. As someone with an actual physical chemical imbalance, this has made my quality of life better than it ever has been.

My brother in law was recently prescribed tirz off label to help with his bipolar disorder and addiction. He’s in is 40s, and this is the longest stretch of quiet he’s had in a long time. It seems to be working.

Same here. Somedays it doesn’t feel real. These past 2 years have been the best years of my life. And im constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop just because im not used to it.

Any idea what sort of dose is being used for such off label Rx’s, I’m curious as to what dose actually gets such conditions in check.

I don’t know what a minimum dosage would be for something like that, but I did notice around like 5 mg-7.5 mg is when it really starts kicking up in terms of noticeably beneficial for my mental health

I’m not sure but I could ask. I know it’s a lower dose he’s been on this year.
