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.

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.

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.
