Is Fluvoxamine the right medicine for depression and anxiety disorder?
human
I am 39 years old and have been recovering from a major depression including OCD and anxiety for two years now. I have been on many medications which have cause a weight gain of more than 50 pounds. I am currently taking fluvoxamine. I really want this weight off I have never been this big. I am going to the gym four times a week since February and have not lost even one pound. Any suggestions?

Hello, Welcome to Health Care MagicI can understand your concern. Fluvoxamine belongs to SSRI group of drugs and the drug is one of commonly used drugs for depression and OCD. The drug is a safe drug and is right drug for OCD. It is not associated with side effects of weight gain so no need to fear. Marginal weight gain can occur but that can be controlled by exercises. Take the medicine as per your prescribed doses.Thanks, Hope this helps you.
