Is Auvelity an SSRI or SNRI?

Auvelity is not an SSRI or an SNRI. It’s a combination medicine made of dextromethorphan and bupropion. [1]

What drug classes does Auvelity use instead of SSRI/SNRI?

• Bupropion is an antidepressant with a different mechanism than SSRIs/SNRIs (it affects norepinephrine/dopamine signaling rather than using serotonin reuptake inhibition).
  
• Dextromethorphan is used to complement bupropion’s antidepressant effect. [1]
  
  

Why people might confuse it with SSRI/SNRI

People often group antidepressants by “common categories” (SSRI vs SNRI), but Auvelity’s ingredients place it outside those classes. [1]
