Feeling sick on Luvox (fluvoxamine)

[keptainicandozatt]

I've been on Luvox for a week (25mg) and I don't know if it's normal, but I kinda feel physically unwell on it? I'm aware that there are side effects to antidepressants, but it's kinda freaking me out.

I feel nauseous and light-headed (I need to either sit or just lie down before the feeling passes). I'm also more anxious than before (sometines), but an upside to it is that I've started sleepin better. Even though I'm sleeping better, I feel tired most of the time and it's making it really hard for me to focus on work/other things.

I also feel kinda shaky and my stomach's got this weird feeling to it...so yeah, in general, I feel pretty shitty 😂 My doctor told me to give it 4-8 weeks and then to feedback to her during my next follow up.

Just wondering if anyone feels the same way on Luvox?

I was prescribed fluvoxamine, but I am not sure about taking it Do you have other side effects?

First few days of taking it was pretty rough for me. I had difficulty sleeping and also stomach pain, and felt tingles in my hands/feet. But those went away after the fourth day or so!

Hi, I have taken Luvox for about 7 yrs now. They are 50mg. I take it 2x a day. I've never had any side effects from it but I must also add that I've not noticed any relief in my anxiety.
