A member asked:

Does faverin affect mood in a positive way?. i feel that i am a little happier , less angry everyday. but it was prescribed for my ocd .

Faverin= Luvox (fluvoxamine) : Yes, Luvox (fluvoxamine) is both an antidepressant and an anti-obsessive-compulsive agent of the ssri class of antidepressants. It is therefore no surprise that you are feeling better on this.
