At 74 I just started Auvelity. I have to admit I have a newfound purpose in getting things done and this is the first time in years. Still having anxiety but this med is only saying it works for depression. However I am having a hell of a time eating, I have no interest in food Until later in the day. I think this would be a huge nutritional problem for some and perhaps is for me. I have only been on this for three months. But I finally got my house tiled I planted plants outside and seem to care about life more . I swear my parents made this retirement life look a lot easier than it is. Good luck.

Hi, I found your post interesting. I have had no motivation to do anything around my house for a couple years. Everything seems like a huge chore. I’m embarrassed how I have lived in this horrible pig pen. Health issues of family members and lots of death, job losses…. Not active with others as much mainly because I’m totally exhausted. My 4 adult kids can’t believe how I haven’t kept up with housework and all.
Does this sound like what you might have experienced? I’ve been on so many different prescriptions and really can’t say they seem to make any difference. In my upper 60’s. It is a shame not to be living life. Kind of feel like I should be doing something but then don’t! Wondering if you are still on that medicine Auvelity and your thoughts. Thank you.
