Hey NOCD friends. I could really use your help. I just started a transition from Sertraline to Fluvoxamine. I think I have taken 4 or 5 doses of Fluvoxamine so far. My concern right now is that it is making ms really tired. Have you had this experience? How long does it last? How long should I wait to see if this side effect goes away? It's quite an oppressive, terrible feeling g of sedation at times. Thanks.
Anyone have experience taking Luvox (Fluvoxamine) for their OCD?
I was prescribed Fluvoxamine today. I hope it works. At first she wanted to put me on Wellbutrin, as it’s a much easier medication to tolerate. But I told her I had done research in Fluvoxamine since it’s specifically made to treat OCD. She scared me when she said it’s not prescribed as often because of the side effects. She called it a “harder drug.” I didn’t really like hearing that. We had it filled anyway but now I’m just scared to take it because of course I’ve been online reading negative reviews. Hope I didn’t make a mistake. Maybe I should have stuck with the Wellbutrin.
Has anyone found a medication for them that has worked. I’m on my second day of Luvox, but my anxiety and depression from intrusive thoughts and ruminating are so through the roof, that I feel like I’m going out of my mind. I’m contemplating trying Valium as need be until my ssri kicks in, but I’m afraid of feeling the need to take it too much and become addicted. Advice?
