"This saved my life literally. Zero side effects noted even on the first day. I never leave any kind of medication reviews but wanted people to know, as this is a new medication, that there is hope. Two weeks in and things didn't seem so hard. Four weeks in and I felt like a normal person."

For Major Depressive Disorder "I have been on a variety of antidepressants for the past 15 years. I started Effexor about 6 months ago, and it was life-changing, but I still had depression and my anxiety was paralyzing. My psychiatrist put me on Klonopin for anxiety and Auvelity for depression. I was very hopeful this would be the combination that would allow me to function. The first week, I felt amazing despite having intense nausea and generally feeling kinda loopy like being on a pain pill. By week 2, those side effects went away. Now, I can’t wake up and can’t stay awake during the day. At first, it was just general tiredness, but now I fall asleep throughout the day, including while driving, regardless of how much caffeine I have had to help me stay awake. Although my depression has decreased, I go through intense and unexpected mood swings. I can be extremely happy and excited about an upcoming event and then randomly fall into a deep depression while on the way there. After a bit, I’m fine again."

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."

"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 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."

"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."

"I have been on Auvelity for 8 days. Advised to take one a day for 3 days and then 2 a day. Side effects are bearable; constipation, agitation (when it starts to wear off), sweating, fuzziness (brain fog). I feel “lighter”, I laugh more, I feel generally content. Around day 4, I started to get an anxiety attack in the afternoon but was able to ward it off. I almost stopped taking it but decided to muscle through. I am glad I did. Although it’s been a short time, I am very optimistic about this medication. I have been on several other antidepressants in the past and none have proven effective so I pretty much gave in to the fact there was nothing out there for me. Unlike most of the reviews I have read about this drug, I have never been diagnosed with MDD. I just happened upon this medication after seeing a commercial for it and my doctor prescribed it for me. It works incredibly quickly compared to other meds I've had. Don't give up, you will find something that works for you too!"

For Major Depressive Disorder "I started taking Auvelity as a supplement to my antidepressant as I became resistant to treatment. At first, I took one a day. I didn’t see much difference. So, my doc switched to 2 a day. I think it helped. But I started having a very dry mouth. It is affecting me, and I am not sure what to do about that."
