If someone is being treated with fluvoxamine and are then diagnosed with graves disease could the fluvoxamine also be treating the graves disease? ## Hi Rhonda, Fluvoxamine is an antidepressant, so I don't think it will fully treat an autoimmune disorder like Graves Disease. It may however be beneficial for treating certain symptoms associated with Graves Disease, such as anxiety and other things relating to hyperthyroidism.

Do you use luvox please let me know if it works and how long it took to work ## Hello, Theresa! How are things going with you? Luvox contains the active ingredient Fluvoxamine, it is an antidepressant that is also used to treat anxiety and OCD.

Please tell me how long it took luvox to work please anyone out there take it what is your dose ## According to the College of Psychiatric and Neurologic Pharmacists, patients taking Luvox (fluvoxamine) could begin to see signs of improvement in appetite, energy, and sleep, within the first 1-2 weeks of use. They go on to state that symptoms of depression may require up to 6-8 weeks before noticing a full improvement. So from what I understand, it really depends on how severe each condition may be. Apparently the dose can also range anywhere from 50mg all the way up to 300mg. But only you & your doctor can effectively determine what amount is right for you. I hope this helps!

My husband is having severe mood swings, anxiety attacks, insomnia, and generally not acting right after taking 3 1/2 days of Medrol dose pak. (Note: his is/has been taking Fluvoxamine for several years due to "emotional" problems after several strokes.) He will not agree to go back to the doctor, and when I call the doctor they give me no advice over the phone. I told them I can not get him to go, they said well keep us posted. Any suggestions?? ## Hello, Dempsey! How are you? I am so sorry about what you're husband is going through. Yes, that can happen, when someone takes steroids, other side effects as listed by the FDA may possibly include nausea, headache, acne and fluid retention.

hi, I'm currently shaky, sweaty, heart is racing, feeling hot and I think I am beginning to get the runs and don't know if it is a drug interaction with my sumatriptan and fluvoxamine ## Hello, Rhi! How are you? Yes, it is is possible. Have you consulted your doctor? You should do so immediately to have this checked out, if it is serotonin syndrome, it could be very dangerous. Other symptoms, as listed by the NIH, may possibly include body jerking or twitching, over responsive reflexes and seizures. How long have you been on them both?

Two of my boys have autism and sleep disorders. I wanted to try liquid melatonin with them but was advised by their psychiatrist not to. This (he says) is because it can interact with SSRI's that they are taking (fluvoxamine) and result in Serotonin Syndrome. I cannot find any information about this anywhere and was wondering if anyone has heard of this contraindication. ## I haven't found any information on this either, but since he is a doctor, he may be aware of more modern research into it that isn't available to the public yet. The details I've found state that the SSRIs actually can make the Melatonin be ineffective, so it's really pointless to try to use them together. Did he suggest anything you can try to help with the sleep issues? ## imho psychs are not do...
