In reply to Luvox (fluvoxamine) - anti-anxiety ?, posted by pro_social_soon on May 15, 2005, at 5:54:53
Hi, I have never taken this drug, but just from reading about the side effects, it seems it would not be a good anti-anxiety drug:
Side effects:
Somnolence, dry mouth, nervousness, insomnia, dizziness, tremor, agitation, asthenia, abnormal ejaculation, g.i. disturbances including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, anorexia and dyspepsia. Rare cases of seratonin syndrome, particularly when combined with other serotonergic drugs.
The last thing a person with anxiety problems (one of my many issues) would want is to feel more nervous!! Have you tried Klonopin? Thats really the only thing that has helped greatly with my panic disorder.
