In reply to Paroxetine, Sertraline,....then Fluvoxamine?, posted by SalArmy4me on July 19, 2001, at 17:49:29
YES!! My pdoc was going to prescribe fluvoxamine for me fairly recently, after I tried sertraline, which did not work and paroxetine, which pooped out after many years (probably too many years on it). So, it sounds like it IS indeed possible for fluvoxamine to work even AFTER unsuccessful 6-week trials of sertraline and paroxetine, since my pdoc was contemplating that exact route!
However, given my mixed bag of symptoms/conditions, she decided to go with Zyprexa and then added in Lamictal instead; I'm on EffexorXR for a-d, but will be tapering off that (waaaaaay too activating) and onto one of the more sedating ones next appointment.
