Does the sleepiness side effect go away ? On auevelity

Posted by audame @audame, Jul 8 2:32pm

Just started auevelity after trying many other antidepressants. I am running out of hope. I have been on it almost Two weeks and read that it could kick in in a week. Maybe I just got my hopes up. Does anyone know when the sleepiness side effects go away. I have many of the other side effects but it’s too early to give up
How long did it take to kick in for you??

I have been on Auvelity for just over four months. I did not experience drowsiness in the beginning. I got an immediate bump of motivation to do things. About six weeks in, it really started to improve my mood and motivation to do things. I didn't want to stay in bed and if I wasn't doing something I got fidgety. That was awesome for me!

I appreciate your post. I've been dealing with depression for years.
I've was taking Auvelity for more than 2 weeks (maybe 16 to 18 days) and I could tell no difference in the depression. NONE.
However, the side effects for me was sleeplessness. It disrupted my sleep. It was so unpleasant that I had to stop taking it.
