Several new psychiatric medications have recently been approved or are nearing approval. Auvelity, a combination of bupropion and dextromethorphan, is a novel antidepressant that speeds up response and remission compared to bupropion alone. Zuranolone, an oral medication for postpartum depression, works in just 14 days and shows improvement lasting 45 days. Gepirone, a 5HT1a receptor partial agonist, was approved for major depression with a favorable side effect profile. Cariprazine was approved as an adjunctive treatment for resistant depression, with easy dosing and lower metabolic side effects.
