2 | "OCD" | The "OCD" is still highly prevalent, but I can now sleep; however, the sleep is full of horrific and repetitive nightmares, following the same theme night after night -- like watching the same scary horror movie as soon as you close your eyes, with it setting the tone for the first few hours of the next day upon awakening! | I know that there must be a better medication, but following a nearly two year episode of sleeping for only an hour now and then, I'll live with the highly predictable nightly horror movie!

FLUVOXAMINE MALEATE (FLUVOXAMINE MALEATE): Fluvoxamine is used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It helps decrease persistent/unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and urges to perform repeated tasks (compulsions such as hand-washing, counting, checking) that interfere with daily living. Fluvoxamine is known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). This medication works by helping to restore the balance of a certain natural substance (serotonin) in the brain. FDA Approval Date: 2000-11-29 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
