Talk to experienced psychiatrist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Very little information. You need to tell in detail about your symptoms & reason for taking Uvox. How long you are on these medicines, how frequently you take etc. There are chances of not responding to one medicine even with adequate trial. We can add some other medicine if there is a partial response or change the medicine if no response at all. There can be other factors responsible for lack of interest in work which has to be dealt with separately like psychotherapy.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist & discuss in detail about your problems.

Hello. It's likely that you are not responding to Fluvoxamine 100mg. Ideally, you have to wait for atleast 2-3 weeks after taking anti-depressant at optimal dose, to appreciate any response. If in this time period, if you didn't respond, most probably, Fluvoxamine didn't work for you. We may try increasing the dose to 150mg and wait for 2-3 weeks. Alternatively, we can change the drug to a drug with different mechanism of action.
Next Steps
Kindly consult psychiatrist for detailed evaluation of the condition and the reason for poor response. At the same time, it's advisable to consider starting psychotherapy which might benefit in addition to the medications.

Hi, I appreciate that you reached out with your concern.
I would suggests you to consult therapist and also consider Psychometric Test to know any personality issues due to which the prescribed medication is not working as you have mentioned. Psychologist will provide you with appropriate methods with acknowledging your full history and personality. Medications and therapy simultaneously help in faster recovery. Tailored strategies to your specific needs with professional psychologist will help you.
Meanwhile, Practice deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, and Progressive muscle relaxation. Maintain a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and prioritize adequate sleep.
