Hi, I saw that you want to try the fluvoxamine, I did try that and got very serious side effects from it. Just thought I would let ypu know. Side effects included panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, fear, fear of hurting someone. Just wanted to share that with you. God bless and Good luck
Hi there...typically if you are not seeing results by 6 weeks, then it may not be the right medication for you. Since you have been going up in dosage...how long have you been on the 200 mg? The unfortunate thing is that some of these meds doincrease anxiety symptoms in the beginning. For me at about the 4 to 5 week mark, it was like a light switch turned on and those symptoms were gone and I felt great.
As far as gradually going off the medication, it should only be done with a doctor's indication so that you can be monitored.
