Has anyone tried Fluvoxamine 100mg Tablets for OCD or Social Anxiety? Share your experiences!
I've been recently diagnosed with social anxiety disorder and my doctor prescribed Fluvoxamine 100mg Tablets. I'm a bit nervous about starting this medication and want to hear from others who have tried it. How has it helped with your symptoms? And what side effects did you experience? I've read about the potential for serotonin syndrome and other serious side effects, so I'm especially interested in hearing about any urgent issues that came up. Thanks in advance for sharing your stories!
I had a really bad reaction to it—got a rash and couldn't breathe properly. Went to the ER and they told me to stop taking it immediately. Be prepared to monitor any allergic reactions closely.
If you’re feeling really anxious about starting, maybe ask your doctor about a lower dose to start with. It might help ease into the side effects.
I took it in combination with another SSRI and felt like my body was on fire. Serotonin syndrome is no joke, so be careful.
Yep, I’ve been on fluvoxamine for a while now. The side effects were minimal for me. I did experience some sweating, but it was manageable. The biggest benefit was the reduction in my obsessive thoughts. It’s helped me tremendously.
What’s serotonin syndrome? Is it common?
