These meds work well together but I feel like I am in drugged daydream all day.
I don’t really want to feel like this for the rest of my life.

Do you take those meds in the morning or afternoon? If so, ask pdoc if you can take them only at hour of sleep.
I take them both in the evening, 50mg of both.

Did you start taking them recently? Maybe you’ll build a tolerance to them over time.
I have been on them together for 3 weeks after I promised my wife I wouldn’t drink alcohol anymore. I have been on Chlorpromazine this time since August last year, I cannot sleep at all since I gave up alcohol without taking the Fluvoxamine. I was on Fluoxetine before I went on the Fluvoxamine.
I have been on meds for 12 years.

I have just taken 20mg Paroxetine with my Chlorpromazine instead of the Fluvoxamine to see what happens tonight, if I don’t get any sleep tonight it doesn’t really matter because I am not doing anything tomorrow, I have never tried Paroxetine without drinking alcohol before.

I slept for 7 last night which is good, but it maybe because I still have some Fluvoxamine in my system, but I feel much happier today because I am not so drugged up.

Hi simon how are u now…
Hi far_cry, I am doing well but will now more about my med change in the next few days, as it takes time for my brain to adjust to the new antidepressant.
I hope you are keeping well.

I have just woken up, I slept for 7 hours again which is good for me, I don’t feel drugged anymore so that is good, but I am starting to hear thoughts in my head, some of which were very sensible, and I am not having messed up dreams now.

Fluvoxamine (Luvox) made me feel like a robot in a way. Like a feeling of derealization. It was so weird.
I had to switch to Fluoxetine (Prozac) because of that.
I found Fluvoxamine made me feel like I was in a bubble/a brain fog/not my self, and with Chlorpromazine it was like a had a lobotomy.
Fluvoxamine is very different to all the other ssri antidepressants and more like a sedating tricyclic or tranquilizer, although very effective, I can’t see anyone wanting to take it forever.
I will use Fluvoxamine again if I have to, and then go back on to a different ssri.
I have been Paroxetine for a week now, it is working well and I don’t feel drugged, but I crave sugar all the time, I ate a whole box of chocolates this afternoon. I have been eating sweets everyday which I don’t normally do.
