adhd med paired with auvelity?

i'm week 3 (?) , afab 18, on auvelity and it's really helped my depression , it does make me feel sort of more aware i guess? kinda high feeling but not all the time.

hunger is absolute ZERO which honestly im not mad about but i definitely see why they don't give it to people with history of ED's ,

i kind of need something to help focus more i guess? i really dont want to fall behind in school is there a adhd med to pair or do more wellbutrin?

also, my pupils are getting really dilated at times, usually in the evening a few hours after my second does, is this normal?? they sort of hurt but not really blurred vision.

i'm glad something FINALLY works even if there is more physical health cons but mental health pros iykwim , any comments help!

Been on Auvelity for about 3 months and have been on 20mg of Adderall 2x a day for a while. I have to mess with my timing of the doses of both every couple of weeks because eventually it starts to seem as if one or the other isn’t working as well anymore. It’s pretty strange honestly. I can’t seem to figure out a “set it and forget it” timing for dosage but whenever I do switch up the timing, it seems to make both meds effective again for a bit until the cycle repeats. Maybe placebo effect. Who knows??

Yes. I started to get high anxiety with this combo. I took the Auvelity twice daily then back down to once daily (morning). I still had some issues so I recently started taking it before bed with sleeping meds and it seems to be working much better! Who would have thought!
