I have ocd recently was unable to pay for medicine . put myself on luvox (fluvoxamine) i am currently having insomia. what ocd medicine will not cause insomina?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Options: Selective serotonin reputable inhibitors are the first choice for treatment. Risk of sedation varies amongst this class. Paroxetine has a higher risk and is effective for OCD. Alternatively Anafranil (clomipramine) is available here for those who qualify : http://www.needymeds.org/drug_list.taf?_function=name&name=Anafranil (clomipramine).
