Question : how can I slow down my appetite when on fluvoxamine

Answered by Dr. Dr. Muhammad Sareer Khalil (1 hour later)

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
