Is luvox great for ocd? are the side effects worse than zoloft (sertraline) ? im on zoloft (sertraline) now but ocd hasn't improved while anxiety has. will luvox be better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Luvox (fluvoxamine): If you can tolerate Luvox, (fluvoxamine) it might be better option for OCD. Review with your doctor. Also, for the OCD, talk to a Therapist about Cognitive Behavior Therapy to boost response to medications.
