Hello,
Clozac (fluvoxamine) is a medication used for treatment of OCD. The effective dose varies between individuals, commonly ranging from 100 mg to 300 mg per day, depending on response and tolerability. Dose adjustments must always be done gradually and under supervision of a psychiatrist. Since you have been on treatment for 14 years, any dose change or reduction should only be done cautiously, step by step, and never abruptly, to avoid relapse of OCD symptoms.
Next Steps
- Please consult your treating psychiatrist before making any changes to the dose.
- If you feel your symptoms are well controlled, your doctor may consider gradual dose reduction with regular monitoring.
- Alongside medications, psychological therapies such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) are also very effective and may help in reducing medication need.

Health Tips
a. Do not stop or reduce the medicine on your own, as it can lead to worsening of OCD symptoms.
b. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, sleep routine, and stress management, as these help in recovery.
c. Always keep regular follow-ups with your psychiatrist when making any medication changes.
