Suggest Remedies For Anxiety While On Luvox
Brief Answer:
Wait for few days and anxiety will decrease
Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM
Luvox is Fluvoxamine and is a SSRI drug. If the drug is started with high doses rebound increase in anxiety is seen especially in first few weeks of starting therapy. 75 mg is not a very high dose and you started increasing dose gradually so the anxiety will go in few days. In my opinion no need to reduce the doses. Wait for a couple of days and you will feel better.
If you have prescription of some benzodiazepine like Xanax or Clonazepam then you can take it in low dose for few days with Luvox. This will calm you.
Thanks, hope this helps you, please don't hesitate to ask again for more information.
