fluvoxamine
fluvoxamine or Luvox if you have to take it you should not be on anything else if possible, its a wierd SSRI with severe drug drug interactions. I rarely if ever use it for a while it was taken off the market in short acting form

I’m taking 200 mg for depression. Been on it for about a year, I think(?).
I’ve been on several SSRIs, but, my doctor really wants to keep me on Luvox, as it’s used on children a lot (I turned fourteen in July).
I’m also on 7.5 mg of folic acid. Can’t remember the pill name.
MsGeorgeMan says:
Luvox does NOT help OCD, seriously, I been on it for years and it never helped!
I would not recommend it. Maybe it’s different for everyone else but it didn’t help OCD for me.

But what is it?
realmofoz says:
I take this 100mg twice daily. I have BPD. The reason for taking it because I was having thoughts and urges to kill people that would not stop. It finally stopped since I have been taking it. I notice if I miss a pill or two thoughts will come back. I do not however like how this medication makes me feel. I just feel numb and it slows down my thinking and I seem stupid sometimes. I want off the meds but I feel afraid to since this works. I have tried every other med this was my last alternative

your a fruit cake.
DOCTOROFMINDMD says:
your right its dangerous.. i actually almost hurt a lady with this drug. it raised her asthma med and caused irregular heart beat and near death… i still remember it… this stuff is dangerous, and i cant believe they use it in children, of course its not approved for depression in children just ocd? it probably can cause that situation you have had

You should be careful with this drug, it might help with OCD but in the end it changes your personality. that’s how i felt.
Golddot888 says:
I took this drug for 2 years for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. After that I stopped taking it and I think it screwed me in a lot of ways. I had severe anxiety like never before and became very introverted and some depression. And this was all after I stopped taking it.
DOCTOROFMINDMD says:
probably but i just hate it and most SSRIs which are safer dont…. it would not be good for the baby and mother so i would not take it during pregnancy for a lot of reasons whereas similar meds can be
Golddot888 says:

DOCTOROFMINDMD says:

DOCTOROFMINDMD says:

DOCTOROFMINDMD says:

Cavin21 says:
Dude, I used to take this drug. It was great for me, it helped with OCD and SAD.
DOCTOROFMINDMD says:
yes I get holistic healing including massage therapy, that is my particular favorite thing for stress and anxiety. I am very opinionated about medications that I prescribe. This venue offers a way to express my opinion only….its a starting point for discussion of this difficult topic where there is little resources.. thanks

Do you ever attempt holistic healing instead of drug prescription?
