What Causes Low Appetite While On Fluvoxamine?
Question: how can I slow down my appetite when on fluvoxamine
Brief Answer:
Lower dose, increased fiber
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
There is no medication available nor is it medically recommended to use anti appetite agents to counter a single effect of an SSRI such as fluvoxamine. The only intervention would be to lower the dose by 1/3rd , increase fiber intake to lower appetite.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
