For Obsessive Compulsive Disorder "Don't touch this stuff. I was taking fluvoxamine for about 3 years with side effects like excessive sweating, sedation, and memory impairment. After stopping the drug, I became irritable, stress intolerant, depressed, anxious, with poor attention and memory problems. These SSRIs don't rebalance the brain, they just make you numb like a zombie."

For Depression "I had been taking fluvoxamine 100 mg since I was 8, I am now almost 26 years old. So 17 years. Diagnosed with ODC and depression at 8 years old. I was sexually abused, which kicked everything into motion. Luvox really pulled me out of depression. I'm super grateful for it for all of these years. I haven't been on it for the past 3 months because it interacted with my Vyvanse in a very terrible way. My compulsive thoughts almost destroyed my marriage, and I fell into the deepest depression I've ever been in. I took myself off Luvox, and everything is better than it was before! Cons of fluvoxamine: emotionless, drowsiness, restless sleep, excessive yawning, dizziness, and easy bruising. All of which went away when I stopped my Luvox 3 months ago. I didn't even realize some of these were side effects because I had been on it for. Pros: no depression."

Fluvoxamine for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder "This medication works fine. It just makes me really drowsy, and I yawn so much. It also makes me go to the restroom more. Other than that, it works fine."

For Obsessive Compulsive Disorder "Perfect for OCD. This SSRI is stronger than others, and it also has sedative properties. Life changed after this."

For Obsessive Compulsive Disorder "Have taken it only a week but stopped because of tiredness and sleepiness I felt all the time. It really improves sleep, though, by increasing melatonin levels in your system. Good sedative SSRI."
