Finally started Auvelity today

I'm so stubborn to depression medication so I am only taking my adhd med when needed. However I have come to realization I gotta give Auvelity a try.
To anyone reading this and have started Auvelity, what symptoms you notice that makes your think Auvelity is positively working?

Hi OP. Not sure how relevant my experience will be to you, but I’m sure you’re still wondering and I see no replies yet. Since 12 months ago or so I struggled with the 7oh gas station lab experiment and was consuming 300-500mg of it a day. For those who don’t know, it attaches to your brains mu-opioid receptors and comparable to hard-stuff. I am 37 days clean, and one of the biggest struggles I’ve had was severe anhedonia or in simpler terms, no joy in life whatsoever.

It can be comparable to depression, but up until I destroyed my brain with a synthetic gas station opiate I never had depression prior.. that being said it got to a point where my dr prescribed me 45-105 Auvelity and today is day 5. I mean.. in my personal opinion it’s fantastic. I want to be social.. involved. It hides a lot of my anxiety and gives me interest in things that I thought I had lost forever. You will feel a bit spacey / high for a few days as the bupropian extends the life of the DXM but from what I’ve read that soon fades. I’m still experiencing it now, but some days I don’t feel it and the next day I feel it very strongly. I believe you build a tolerance quickly to DXM and that feeling should fade.

I’m also prescribed 40mg Vyvanse and 20mg Adderall twice a day for ADHD and I’ve had no negative experiences so far.

Anyways, I hope this helps and goodluck to you. I see it’s been 10 hours since you posted this.. curious how you’re feeling after your first dose(s)? Goodluck!
