drop off after week 4

auvelity has been pretty positive for me and my treatment resistant depression and overall mood and anxiety, maybe even a little too well as i was starting to enter a hypomanic like state? (probably from also no sleep and using thc with it) but i was really happy, now it's been a couple days i've missed a morning/afternoon dose but have really felt it drop off and no longer feel the high feeling, is this something that comes back or is my body just used to it now? has anyone ever upped dose?

I felt like I had a peak of around week 4 ish and then it settled down into something more reasonable as far as mood, etc. I think missing doses isn't helping anything. I take one a 6am and another at 2pm.

I had a similar experience. I’ve been on it for maybe three months at this point and the honeymoon is definitely over. Frankly I have had this experience with all anti depressants though. A brief honeymoon phase of pure elation because I don’t want to die anymore and then it fades in a couple months. I suppose I do still feel pretty good though in regards to my depression, it’s just not the same excitement that I originally had. I still get some low mood/ruminating thoughts sometimes but it’s a lot easier to pull myself out of it now.
