SSRIs don't seem to work well for me. Maybe for maintenance they would be ok, but right now sleep is too much of an issue.
The other issue is how fluvoxamine affects tricyclic drug levels. So it would become problematic as which drug to raise. The original intent was to get some serotonin action which was why the fluvoxamine was added, but it is best to go back to an old standby and just tough out the side effects and then figure out something for maintenance.
I've never gotten well w/o a tricyclic, this way fewer drugs fewer potential interactions.
Once I'm stable hopefully I can take something else.
