[quote=Anonymous]NP - Auvelity contains bupropion (wellbutrin) which can cause anxiety for some people. Personally, having taken a lot of meds for depression and anxiety over the years, I love Auvelity and it really works for me. I don't know that it's a good first-line approach for anxiety though. If your blood pressure is good or even slightly high, propranolol might be an option. Buspar is also commonly added as an adjunct therapy, as is abilify. Personally, I'm not a fan of either, and both led to weight gain for me. Wellbutrin is weight neutral for most people, and not recommended for those with eating disorders because it can cause loss of appetite, especially in the beginning. Auvelity also contains DXM, and can feel very "trippy" during the loading/adjustment phase. I wasn't comfortable driving for several weeks when I started taking it, but that has eased off now.[/quote]
