Has anyone tried Auvelity?

Has anyone tried Auvelity? I know it is for Major Depressive Disorder (which I have) but I also suffer from Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder. Has anyone had any luck with Auvelity treating not only their depression but also their anxiety?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Depression & Anxiety Support Group.

Hi! Yea, at first it was AM and PM but I was swimming in sleepiness. I take other medications for my RLS - bupren0rphine and preg@balin. We are currently working on reducing these meds to combat the sleepiness. I love Auvelity and cannot wait to take it twice a day! I am so glad to not be crying any more, which is such a sad statement but it's true. (Are we supposed to disguise medications here? We do on a RLS site so I'm in the habit!)

What I mean is that the other medications also contribute to the sleepiness. Just wanted to clarify.

I am not aware of any disguising of meds rule. I wouldn't anyway.
I'm glad you are working on getting both your RLS med and Auvelity balanced. And I 100% get the "not crying" and overthinking part.

Yea, in our RLS FB group (there are almost 30,000 of us) we have to disguise the meds or FB has threatened to shut down our group. Glad to know that's not happening here. So Auvelity is the only "head" med you take? That's cool.

Yeah, FB can be really a pain.
Yes, only Auvelity for a year coming up in June.
