Dear lybrate-user, it is nice of you to worry about your father. You can stop sulpitac and prodine, if you wish. It may not cause any withdrawal symptoms. But the original symptoms for which you consulted the doctor may come back. Either prepare to face them and restart the tablets or coax him to continue the tablet till next appointment. It is common or people to refuse to take psychiatric tablets.

A person with anhedonia lives in a mental state where he lacks interest in everything. Even the hobbies are no more pleasurable. Anhedonia is a major symptom of depressive disorder or depression. There are two types of anhedonia: social anhedonia (feeling of staying isolated. You are least interested in meeting people, spending time with them or socializing.) physical anhedonia (lack of physical sensations. You don't feel the warmth of a hug, sex is no more pleasurable for you, and even your favorite food is tasteless for you.)

Dear lybrate-user, congratulations for continuing your interest in making your life better. Ect is an option - not tried so far. But it is not a one time treatment. It has to be given under anesthesia, may be 6-12 times. Only few psychiatrists will have ect facility. Ketamine and rtms - very very few psychiatrist will have it. Ketamine will work if you are acutely suicidal. The effect lasts for lesser time than ect. Rtms may be given as outpatient since it does not need anesthesia. But the number of sessions may 20-50 - not very sure - less effective than ect. So my advice is, medicines can not be avoided - it has to be continued and ect can be added. Clozapine has not been tried so far. Know the treatment options by googling - but discuss (don't decide and demand) with your psychiatrist about it. Many other psychosocial factors also need to considered apart from smoking and drinking - they should also be managed effectively.
