i recently added on fluvoxamine in the hopes that it would improve my primary negative symptoms as well as mitigate some of the intense ocd obsessions i have been having. i have only been on it for a week at 100mg and am currently getting severe amotivation as well as executive functioning difficulties. basically i find it impossible to get stuff done and to think in an organized fashion. on top of this i am having flu-like symptoms which make it hard for me to get out of bed as i have chills and dizziness and so on.
i’ve heard that there is an interaction between fluvoxamine and aripiprazole which i am currently on at 30mg. i cut my aripirazole dose down to 25 milligrams to try and avoid symptoms of elevated aripiprazole levels in my system. i didn’t do this with my pdoc’s blessing unfortunately but figured i could make the change myself as it is a small reduction.
how long until i begin to feel present and possibly ocd free again on fluvoxamine? i am currently unable to do anything and sleep most of the day, but feel like the obsessiveness and social anxiety would be more debilitating in the next couple of weeks.
university begins on the 5th and i have to be ready to attend classes every day of that week. should i back ff the luvox? should i add on trintellix for the executive functioning difficulties? finally, how long until i begin to feel some benefit from the luvox.?
