Pdoc put me on this new antidepressant Auvelity at my last appointment (about 2 months ago). It has been about 6 weeks since I have been on the medicine. I know it can take six to eight weeks to get the full effect but I don't feel like I am getting any effect at all. I messaged Pdoc through the portal today and asked him if we should wait it out or try something new, even if it is an older medicine (which he wasn't keen on in his response). I'm just so sick and tired of being so depressed and not being able to pull myself out of it. I am barely functioning. I make it to work. Usually. But I am certainly not living. I sleep all weekend. I sleep after work and before dinner and then go to bed after dinner. I just want to sleep all the time. Just so I don't have to be awake and in this pain.

Hugs, Kit. I'm sorry you're struggling so much. It seems like if you aren't having any effect at all, it makes sense to try something else. Was there something that helped you before? |
