Hi, again: Based on your "not quite, but almost" child/adult status - your dose is near the top for kids and not very high for adults. But, in both groups - it is best to start low and add until effective (up to a limit). It should be divided equally am ; pm or the higher dose at night. So, to decide on a dose, he refers to you and your progress toward feeling better. Do you?

Dose Response : Luvox (fluvoxamine) dosage is a range between 100-200mg every day. It depends on the presence and acuity of symptoms/complaints.. The more persistent the symptoms, the higher the dose.
