fluoxetine and Anhedonia

fluoxetine has been researched along with Anhedonia in 31 studies

Fluoxetine: The first highly specific serotonin uptake inhibitor. It is used as an antidepressant and often has a more acceptable side-effects profile than traditional antidepressants.
fluoxetine : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of (R)- and (S)-fluoxetine. A selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), it is used (generally as the hydrochloride salt) for the treatment of depression (and the depressive phase of bipolar disorder), bullimia nervosa, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
N-methyl-3-phenyl-3-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]propan-1-amine : An aromatic ether consisting of 4-trifluoromethylphenol in which the hydrogen of the phenolic hydroxy group is replaced by a 3-(methylamino)-1-phenylpropyl group.

Anhedonia: Inability to experience pleasure due to impairment or dysfunction of normal psychological and neurobiological mechanisms. It is a symptom of many PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS (e.g., DEPRESSIVE DISORDER, MAJOR; and SCHIZOPHRENIA).

Trial Outcomes

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) Response to an Emotional Regulation Task.

"Depressed participants were scanned while viewing a sequence of positive and negative images; they were instructed to enhance or supress their emotional response to the image or to continue to attend. To examine brain function when regulating negative affect, we created contrast maps for each participant at all 3 time points by subtracting the attend condition from the suppress condition in response to negative stimuli. Data from all 3 scan sessions were used to assess treatment-induced change in brain activity when regulating emotion. Analyses examining change using difference scores (end vs. starting points), we subtracted initial HAMD score from final HAMD score. For fMRI analyses, in a voxelwise manner, we subtracted initial negative suppress vs attend from final negative suppress vs attend.~Control subjects were not depressed, repeat scans to assess change were not completed.~Reported results are from BA10, one of our areas of interest."
