Hi everyone. Just trying to find anyone that may be taking the anti-depressant medication "Faverin", main ingredient "Fluvoxamine,"? Just seeing if anyone has had any side effects with it in the first week or so and if you've had any adverse affects when it is mixed with caffeine? Would really appreciate any help anyone out there may have. Thankyou

I haven't taken it myself but I hope that website helps.

I have never heard of the medication. Is it new? Well, I'll just tell you what I know. All antidepressants have side effects, some worse then others. Some for me have been minor headaches, and some have been memory loss and weight gain. There are sites online which list the side effects but it is better if you look AFTER you start experiencing odd symptoms. You don't want to "expect" the side effects, that's happened before. About the caffeine, I am not sure. I know certain types of medications can affect other meds so be careful. Talk to a psychiatrist, they know more about medication than the regular MDs do.
