Starting Fluvoxamine

Hello, I had been taking Zoloft for years for what I thought was anxiety. I weaned off and then began to take it again with my symptoms came back.

My GP just kind of seemed to want to write a prescription and send me away so I decided to see a psychiatrist. After talking with the psychiatrist they determined that I wasn't actually suffering from anxiety but  OCD which makes sense since my grandfather has it. I typically have intrusive thoughts but I can't get out of my brain and I just obsess over them until I have a panic attack.

So anyway my question is, has anyone on here had luck with Luvox or fluvoxamine?

Hey there,

Thank you for your reply. I made another post, a kind of more in depth one of what I've been dealing with. If you could look at it I'd really appreciate it. I just want some guidance.

I'm answering since nobody has but I have not taken that one.  But that doesn't matter.  What matters is whether it works for you.  The best drug out there is the one that works for you and it may not be the one that works for me.  It is trial and error.  Listen to your body and decide but remember you need to give it a good 4 to 6 weeks before you really know whether it is working or not.  Good luck!  We are here to support you.
