Luvox (fluvoxamine) medication - online prescription available

Obsessive-compulsive disorder

Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder may experience consistent unwanted thoughts or feel compelled to complete certain tasks multiple times each day. This can significantly interfere with their daily life and cause disruptions in their ability to stay focused. Some people with OCD may also exhibit signs of other psychiatric disorders, such as social anxiety or major depressive disorder.

Luvox is primarily used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder. The medication works on serotonin levels in the brain, which may help to reduce these unwanted thoughts & compulsions. Due to the activity of the medication, it may also help with symptoms associated with major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and some other psychiatric disorders. Sometimes, it is used to treat depression in young adults who may show signs of the mental illness OCD. The serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) can help to prevent worsening depression and the adverse effects that come with this situation.

The side effects associated with taking Luvox are typically mild to moderate. Most Luvox side effects are associated with the digestive system. Luvox (Fluvoxamine maleate) has some common side effects. They may include:

• Nausea

• Vomiting

• Dizziness

• Trouble sleeping

Some people also report a loss of appetite while they use the medication.

Other side effects, which are less common but might be more severe, could include:

• Sexual dysfunction

Very rarely, some patients may experience suicidal ideation when they begin this medication for their mental illness. The doctor will make you aware of signs that are related to suicidal ideation, including worsening depression. Patients treated should also understand the risk of serotonin syndrome, which happens when there's too much serotonin in your system. The risk of serotonin syndrome increases with drug interactions, particularly when the patient uses other medications that also Icrease levels of serotonin in the braine. Serotonin syndrome can result in agitation, fast heartbeat, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, and warm, flushed skin. In the case of serotonin syndrome or suicidal thinking, you should call 911 or, in the case of suicidal thoughts, 988 immediately.

You should call your doctor if you notice any other new or concerning symptoms. While Luvox CR is sometimes used in young adults and even elderly patients, it is not advised for use in children. A child using Luvox to treat a mental illness may have an increased risk of serotonin syndrome and other adverse effects.

Major depressive disorder

While this medication may help depression, a doctor may prefer a different drug if you do not show signs of OCD. Generally, doctors can tailor medicines to try based on the most predominant symptoms. So, in the case of predominantly depression, they may suggest a different drug.
