I’ve been on Auvelity for about 4 months and it works great! I’ve tried numerous medications for MDD and this is the first medication i could actually feel my mood change for the better physically and emotionally. I’ve never been happier. I felt it kick almost right away and was upbeat by day 2! This saved my life

This medication is the only thing that has worked for me out of the 15 other meds I’ve tried. Leveled out on day 2, and only side effect for me was sweaty palms for a couple weeks but went away. It saved my life, literally. Hope it can help me save my marriage.

night and day difference in 5 days. I stopped living and I almost gave up all together. My DR said lets try this and I was willing to try anything. I cannot believe the difference. Its like a light went on. They did have to add Wellbutrin XL 150 once a day to the treatment but it's been a year and I cannont believe how well this works. I also can't believe how depressed I was. You know something isnt right but when you look back, it is really scary how dark it got!

Today is day one for me! I'll keep you all posted!

I remember actually accidentally taking too much prescription cough medication when I had bronchitis in 2017. The cough medication had dextromethorphan in it. I remember having an incredible sense of well-being, I was able to sit and actually read and take in full paragraphs without being inhibited by dissociative episodes of despair and sadness which had plauged me since I was a little kid. Once it wore off I thought nothing of it, just that it was a brief escape from the constant onslaught of sadness that was my brain’s baseline awareness. Maybe a few years later I remembered that night I had years ago and purposefully tried taking a little too much DXM again to see if it was as fun as I remember and it was even more profoundly heartwarming than I remember. I was able to fully remind myself of my positive inner qualities, my strengths, the people in my life that love me and my potential. Gradually, and over time off the drug, I felt very nostalgic about my handful of times on DXM. There was a dark year of my life where I used DXM every day over the counter to try and achieve an anti depressant effect but it was in secret and way too much to the extent that I was delirious and couldn’t make sense of my surroundings sometimes. But I knew that there was something about this drug that was inherently helpful to alleviating depression. After I went to rehab to detoxify from DXM I was prescribed Wellbutrin, which worked well staving off depression, as it shares as a similar application chemically to DXM, even though it wasn’t quite as effective. Independently through my own research I stumbled onto the development of Auvelity which combined Wellbutrin and DXM. I felt some internal conflict about it because it’d been a drug that had kind of taken over my better judgement in the past, but had a strong feeling that if it was monitored by healthcare professionals and taken at a low and consistent dose it would be safe. I’ve been Auvelity for about 6 months and the quality of my life has elevated to a level I never would have imagined. I have my own house, my dream job, my relationships are so good, I am working out consistently, I do not use recreational drugs, I have artistic success as a musician selling out shows all along the west coast. It’s been an insane ride and I wouldn’t recommend this drug to anyone but it’s pretty incredible how this one chemical changed the entire direction of my life in countless ways.

Week 2 on auvelity. Everyone is saying how much better my mood is already.

took it for ONE WEEK and it largely cured my life long major depressive disorder... it also cracked my brain open like a fucking piggy bank and allowed me to set down my burdens and walk away, i also found god during a week long wander i did in a fugue state, eating only what i found as god provided... i ended up in jail for 11 days, all good lol i was laughing the entire time because i was the one who was finally free... also watch out for caffeine

I am researching this drug. I've been on bupropion for years, got sick, when I took 60 mg DXM I had a much stronger than expected response. Glad to know it's not all in my head.

Auvelity saved my life. I have tried many mood stabilizers and SSRIs with little to no effects. It kicked in after two weeks and I'm on my third week and feeling more motivated, constructive and less brain fog. I hope my body doesn't become tolerant to this medication. I would give it a 10/10 score. Thanks so much for your video!!! it gave me the all the info that I was looking for. Wishing you lots of luck and many thanks to you!

Super helpful drug for me, started kicking in on day 5 and haven’t had any problems since

I really like how in depth you go when discussing the pharmacology of psychiatric medications. Would it be possible for you to do a video about some of the older antipsychotics such as chlorpromazine and haloperidol? There aren’t many videos on KZfaq discussing chlorpromazine and it would be interesting to hear about these older medications and when they might actually be preferred for some patients over the newer ones.

It can cause or exasterbate panic attacks. Just keep this in mind when you make your decision.

I just started it. I can't confirm if it's good yet . Like , I feel like it is but my brain still isn't there yet.

So awesome, thanks for the explanation! 😊

Thank you ❤❤

I would love to see a video about Ritalin and Adderall and their potential for abuse and dependence

I can't get it in my place ( Malaysia) , I use cough syrup but hopefully government import this great medicine treatment for depression ok

Thank you so much for all of your help💙💙

I think you are a great nurse. And so smart!

I would love to try this, but wellbutrin gave me a manic episode.

Thank you for this vid and can see where this may be a very effective medication being that Dextromethorphan alone gives me a good nights sleep and seems to have some antidepressant effects on its own!

I don't know what it is but my body is very sensitive to any kind of foreign matter. After about the fifth day I felt like committing suicide. It was so strong of a feeling. I quit it on the sixth day and it stayed In my system for a whole month and I felt weird the whole time. I've tried everything else and I really didn't want to try it because my main problem was anxiety but the psychiatrist said try this for your depression. I wish it would of worked like it does for everybody else. It's horrible living like this. I'm happy it's working for everybody else though.

So we can make our own will Wellbutrin (bupropion) and Dextromethorphan (Delsym) ?

This medication is definitely something

It makes me insanely dizzy and gives me bad brain fog

I have a question about Auvelity as an Alzheimer’s medication. I’ve read a few things in regard to the potential of Auvelity’s possible usefulness as a treatment for Alzheimer’s. What confuses me is that given that increased levels of glutamate are present in Alzheimer’s patients and that these increased levels seem to be causing damage, why would a medication that increases glutamate by blocking its reuptake be looked at as not throwing fuel on the fire but instead as a benefit? Thanks.

Would you please consider reviewing a lesser known and used anti-psychotic called "Iloperidone". Thank you!

U've been very clear, thanks for the informations about it

Because it has dextromethorphan, would that mean that cold medication containing the same ingredient would be contraindicated?

Currently im taking clomipramine 200 mg .can auvelity be taken togther ? Is there any interaction ??

Can you please make a video about swapping zyprexia 5mg to Abilify 2mg for major depressive disorder with psychotic features. Can that be done? Reason for swapping is zyprexia is making me unmotivated and sedating. Thank you

Can we take this with sertraline

Dose it make you impotent?

Great video. However, you are mispronouncing “bupropion” by saying “bupropRion”. There’s no second “R”. But…thank you for the really helpful information.

Is weight gain a common side effect with this medication?

My Medicare won't cover this medication and I tried the manufacturer coupon and that didn't work either. Has anyone else had issues with this being covered by their insurance? I'd really like to be able to try this medication as nothing else has ever really worked well for me.

When we can have auvelity in australia

Can you plz make a video about Quetiapine, as a mood stablizer for young autistic kids? My 11 year old son was prescribed abilify as a mood stablizer, he was on 4mg and it was working pretty well but then he developed TD and we are weaning him off slowly, the pediatrician has plans to put him on quetiapine next but i am really worried about TD now. Can you please help explain this drug🙏

Why not just take a table spoon of dex with your wellbutrin. Save money

Why don't people just take glutamine supplements?

I just have one question, how dangerous is it in overdose?

Hi- What's the difference between Glutamate and using regular SSRI that prevent the reuptake of sertonin? Does it have any effect on anxiety? Thanks!

Can you take this while tapering benzos

How much does this cost for these cheap medicines?

Is it cause weight gain

I have a question, I have been on 300mg Buproprion for awhile and periodically I have taken a 30mg dose of DXM those pure DXM robotablets on amazon. Its not often and I would only take it sometimes at night cause it helped my anxiety but I am wondering if therse any info on what the difference really is? for example someone like myself already onn 300mg wellbutrin just adding a "x" mg dose of dxm daily which is an over the counter accessible drug?
