Any one take it every other day?

Hey guys I’ve been struggling a while with persistent depression. A few months back I went on auvelity for about a week and a half and my depression disappeared but all of the sudden on the 7th or 8th day my anxiety got to be extreme, and it felt like my entire body was extremely tense, almost seized up. Muscles clenched and everything. I’ve tried some other meds since auvelity and am now on lamotrigine, but nothing has helped with depression as much as the auvelity did in the first week I took it. I was wondering if anyone takes it every other day to start out and let your body get used to it? I could take it another day so I stopped after about 8 or 9 days. Wondering it it was too much built up norepinephrine or something. I appreciate any insight or responses
