Ocd and fluvoxamine
I was diagnosed with ocd 8 years ago and i was taking fluvoxamine 200 mg for 4 years and stopped. Then it relapsed and i started the same again and have been taking on and off since then but regularly since last year. I have started to feel derealized as if i dont feel anything happening around me and as if i am a robot. I dont know how to explain this i even told my psychiatrist, he got an mri done but it was normal brain study. What do i do? I have tried cbt too. Is it safe to use fluvoxamine and clonazepam for a long time?
