"At 50mg, Fluvoxamine helped a fair amount with my social anxiety disorder, and significantly eased my agoraphobia. The only significant side effect was drowsiness, which varied in severity, though usually I was able to power through it. Overall I'd say a positive experience."

Luvox (fluvoxamine) "The worst drug I have ever take in my life. It gave me severe anxiety. Made me so tired and I can't sleep, and I got a seveer stomach pain , electric shocks. I don't recommend it at all."

"Worst experience of my life. I had ringing in my ears constantly and an overall sense of paranoia. Made my already severe medicine phobia worse because of how awful it was to be on it."

"Helps. Pretty good, doesn't solve it completed but it gets better overtime so maybe in the future wouldn't be necessary to take."

"This didn’t work for me. I’ve been on it for almost 2 months after being on mirtazapine for months. I feel exactly how I felt before taking any medicine. My anxiety is nonstop even when I’m sleeping. I’m back to have derealization again and I’m constantly tired and unmotivated and a lil paranoid because of my severe anxiety. But medicine works different for everyone so give it a chance :) the only crappy side effect in the beginning is being nauseous and no appetite but it eventually goes away!!"
