Suggest Dosage For Fluvoxamine Pills In Adults

Dear Dr. Das, What is the maximum allowed dosage of fluvoxamine for healthy 30 year old man? Is it safe to have 200 mg fluvoxamine per day ?At the age of 23, I was having Fluoxamine per day 175mg to 200mg ( morning 1.5 (75mg), afternoon - 0 and night 2 ( 100mg) ) for Depression, OCD, ADD and social anxiety. In this dosage i was feeling very well and happy. Along with that i was also having Alzolam 0.25 mg per day. I was continuing this for 5 years. In between i sometimes stop medication completely and whenever i feel discomfort i restart the medication.

Later on i switched to Venlafaxine and then to Sertraline thinking that it could give me much better benefits however it didnt' work that well with me. I don't know whether it is because of lower dosage of what i am having. Currently i am having sertraline 25mg per day however it gives me side effects like on interest in sex, feeling sleepy, etc.

Around 9 months back i was having Crestor 10mg per day for cholesterol but now i have stopped it.

Now i want to switch again to Fluvoxamine as i think it was working well with me than any other medicine but in a higher dosage. Is it safe to have 200 mg or 175 mg per day ? I am a 30 yr old health male.
