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
Hi just tried this but felt so 'out of it' the first 2 days. Did you have that experience and , if so, did it go away soon? Also, do- or did- you also have anxiety and did this help? Thanks!
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!
Hi, I'm starting Auvelity next week and I was wondering what was the experience differential that made them suggest to add Wellbutrin 150mg when I already has Wellbutrin 105mg?
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.
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
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.
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!
Chiming in six months later. I just started this drug three days ago and am wondering about the long-term efficacy. How are you feeling now? Is it still working?
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 RUclips 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.
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.
@@happyskating2000 ha exactly. It blows my mind. DXM is so dangerous it gave me brain damage permanently right after I got sent to the ER for an overdose
@@happyskating2000haha, the same happened to me... in High-school, by the time I was a Senior, I was taking 115mg of DXM twice a day with pomegranate juice (cyp2d6 inhibitor) and I had a blast! Graduated class rank 7 and went on to get my associates in math and science from the community College. I now make a great living and an building bonds with my family!
@@RoseanneSeason7it sounds like you were likely taking a dxm product that contained phenylephrine, guanfacine, or diphenhydramine, all of which cause horrible brain zaps and negative side effects
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.
Great question! I am not familiar with its use in Alzheimer's disease and therefore would not use it for such treatment. It seems it would need more research and considerable evidence in efficacy versus harm to be advised for this use.
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!
Hello, I was wondering if you can do a video on an old medication called Primidone? If not, can you do one about Rexulti? I am currently taking it as an adjunct to Trintellix and it is working great !! @Levelheadedmind
I have just barely started it and so far the only notable side affect has been muscle twitching (painless) in one spot on my leg that I find odd and a little distracting.
I started this today. Tell me how it's been for you. I felt the depression lift for a while, but now I'm a little agitated. I think it's the bupropion's fault. I'm hoping my body gets used to the bupropion and the agitation goes away so the Dex can work.
@Eduardo-qr7js I had the exact same thing happen... for two - three days I felt pretty good, then it was downhill from there with extreme agitation and depression that returned. I had to quit taking it after a week.
@@amberallen95So. Today was the first day I took it. I didn't feel exhausted, I felt agitated, quick thinking, almost like Ritalin. Weaker than Ritalin. Despite being agitated, I yawned a little.
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.
I took my first dose of this yesterday and I don't think the dissociative effects are right for me. I felt like I would eventually make some kind of dangerous choices on it. I think I might have been dissociating as a child and into my 30s as a coping mechanism for CPTSD, and this DXM stuff brought me right back into that feeling. I don't see how I could exist like this every day. It doesn't feel real. and it doesn't feel good. I would rather Psilocybin be legalized for inpatient treatments, like a spa day of sorts every 6-12 weeks. It seems healthier to be on fewer drugs, not daily drugs. For anxiety I have been taking over the counter lavender oil gel-caps called Calm Aid. It definitely has a relaxing effect. It seems like they either prescribe uppers or downers, and call them anti-depressants or anti-anxiety meds, respectively. EMDR helps more than anything. And exercise is helpful, too.
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
I lost 18 lbs very quickly after starting this medication. It’s a really odd feeling because food doesn’t sound gross or anything but you just don’t feel hungry, you just don’t think of food at all. Most days I have to force myself to eat something. I have seen that some people actually gain weight on this, not me, I lost weight with a quickness! I think it’s worth a try for sure!
I have only been on it for 3 days but have noticed that I don’t have an appetite. I’m hoping this medication will finally be the one that works for me. Any weight loss, would be a nice bonus!!
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.
I got denied outright by my insurance up front. My doc provided a list of about 7 of the "usual" anti-depressants that all made me worse to them and then they approved this for me, and it's genuinely changed my life (started working by the third day, been steadily good for over a month since). If your doc hasn't tried to tussle with Medicare yet, it's worth a shot.
I haven’t cried for the week I have taken it. But the day I take the pill I’m too dizzy and have a headache. I’m entering my second week and am expected to take daily. Does the dizziness stop?
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?
Benzo withdrawal is actually tricky. I try and stay away from pharmaceuticals as most people who withdrawal and taper from benzos may have a neurological injury due to the withdrawal. Adding medications can make it worse or not help at all. However, for some people it may help, but I prefer not to take the risk. Instead, I look at nutritional deficiencies, gut health and genetics to optimize your health as best we can prior to withdrawing so that the process is not as brutal.
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🙏
@LevelheadedMind thanks a lot. This video is very helpful :) but I dont understand one thing :Is there a chance of getting TD if we keep the dose under 400 mg or if the dose is more than 400 mg?? From the video, I get the impression that TD might happen on higher doses.
@anniebhatti9236 keeping the dose below 400mg will definitely reduce risk of TD significantly. However, even at higher doses, I don't see TD. I have treated several Bipolar patients who needed 600 to 800mg and they do not have TD. The research states risk is very low with Seroquel below 1%.
Great video. However, you are mispronouncing “bupropion” by saying “bupropRion”. There’s no second “R”. But…thank you for the really helpful information.
@@LevelheadedMind Would you please make a video about the gut/brain connection and can certain probiotics (now called psychibiotics?) help with the side effects of going on/off antidepressants and do they contribute to a better mood,less stress response,anxiety?

Glutamate can increase anxiety.
Thanks! Good to know.@@LevelheadedMind
@@LevelheadedMind Would you please make a video about the gut/brain connection and can certain probiotics (now called psychibiotics?) help with the side effects of going on/off antidepressants and do they contribute to a better mood,less stress response,anxiety? I Googled Glutamate and there seems to be conflicting evidence as to whether it increases anxiety or can actually cause it. (disregulation?). Going through an extremely stressful time and have no idea where to start-again. Have MDD,anxiety and maybe ADD. Current doc very nice but not helpful at all. Love your videos/advice🤗🧠💖❗
@@lolak7438it is my understanding that in disorders like OCD, the brain may have overload of Glutamate but not GABA. still learning what relationship between Gaba and Serotonin (and Dopamine) is…
Thank you. Was considering taking Auvelity but was concerned about anxiety getting worse.@@EphesianRose

Is it cause weight gain
Thanks for letting us know.
No
It caused me to lose 18 lbs so quick!
Why don't people just take glutamine supplements?
How much does this cost for these cheap medicines?
Without insurance it is 1,000-1,200 USD out of pocket cost.
@@LevelheadedMind No comment on that obvious rip-off? I think all professionals in the healthcare field need to fight this financial exploitation.
Why not just take a table spoon of dex with your wellbutrin. Save money
I am not sure you would be able to get the appropriate dosing this way.
Get pills online. Pure dxm
