For Major Depressive Disorder "After 6 days, I feel less depressed & have more energy. I hope I can stay on Auvelity because I do have side effects of diarrhea with abdominal pain & an increase in tinnitus. I am taking 1 tablet a day."

"I have been on this medication for 2 weeks and feel better and happier than I have in many years. I have a lot of energy and positive thoughts and actions. I am a much nicer person to be around. I have hope that as long as I take this medication, I will not go back into the black hole of despair and hopelessness. I have asked my husband to keep a check on me and let me know if I am acting strangely. Also, I am having trouble getting my insurance to pay for the medication, but I have a preauthorization in progress."

For Major Depressive Disorder "Started taking this medicine 6 days ago. It started making a difference today because I usually wake up around 3:30 ruminating and very depressed. This morning was much better. I didn't have the negative thoughts as bad and could let go of the rumination. However, after my second dose today, I'm super dizzy and irritable, so I'm hoping that goes away. I had a great day today, and I think it may be working, just not sure if the dizziness is from this medicine or the discontinuation of my Lexapro."

"TRD for 40 years. Tried numerous SSRIs, 2 SNRIs, and many adjuncts with minimal to no relief. Have been on Auvelity for a little over a week (1 pill daily) and have noticed my depression is almost gone and have much more energy and find joy in life again. My anxiety has improved but is still present. Going to give it more time and if need be go up to 1 pill twice a day. Overall very satisfied."

"I only started taking Auvelity yesterday for treatment-resistant depression. Currently going through TMS now trying to avoid Spravato. Don’t like the feeling of being disassociated; my doctor said give it a week, but I just feel flat, yucky, like I’m just here; my coordination is off, and very irritable—it’s weird to explain. You feel loopy but not euphoric. I finally just got off lamictal. I take Seroquel to sleep, and now on Auvelity. I have my Ativan for anxiety but haven’t needed it. Been diagnosed with PTSD, GAD, and TRD. I’m going to see how it goes. I’ve been on everything in 22 years and nothing has worked. Will check in again in a few weeks."
