A member asked:
What do you advise if i'm tapering off luvox (fluvoxamine) and now have racing thoughts that i haven't had since before i started taking it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Taper more slowly: Are you tapering in order to begin a new medication or just to be drug free? People are often advised to taper at a pace that is too quick, leading to symptoms that may be due to rapid withdrawal. While Imwould discuss this plan with your doc pyou might take twice as long to . taper or even longer. In this way you can taper without such disruptive,symptoms.
