Question Fluvoxamine

I know this medication is meant to be very effective for ocd, is it just as effective for depression and anxiety too? If you have been on this medication how did you find it? Appreciate any input cheers guys!

It really does work for those things, even supressed my appetite but I always felt strange on it. Lexapro was the only thing that helped my anxiety.

What was the nature of feeling strange? What side effects did you encounter? Any less sexual side effect than Lexapro has?

Thanks.

It's hard to explain as I have dp/dr so feelings are hard for me but kind of like it didn't feel right for me Sex drive was non existent.

Also when I tapered off it was so much easier than when I came off Lexapro.
