Auvelity thoughts
Have any actual psychiatrists who have completed residency actually had any luck with Auvelity? It seems to be very poorly tolerated in my anecdotal experience when pcp’s start it on patients who havent had a full eval to confirm MDD (especially patients with a different diagnosis on differential causing depressive symptoms, who may have significant anxiety, or like ptsd, bipolar, personality issues). I am frustrated with how quick community pcps and APPs are starting people on it and how poorly tolerated and understood it seems to be. Not to mention, patients often not being educated on how you could possibly robo trip if its used while taking OTC cold medicine. Ive seen most people who someone else started it on become very manic or paranoid on it. Looking for anyone else’s experience!!! I feel like SSRIs are better tolerated from a psychological standpoint than this medication (unless the patient has bipolar of course)
