Is there any side effect of taking fluvoxamine 100 mg twice with amisulpride 50 mg for long time. Like more than 03 years. Is it safe.

Question

Dear lybrate-user, your doctor must have made a diagnosis depending on your symptoms. She/he would have felt that these tablets will help you. She/he knows that 95% of people don't develop any side effect. Your chances of experiencing side effect may be only 5%. Those side effects are not any life threatening or organ damage type (if it is so, the doctor would have warned you and advised you periodic blood tests to check). They may be, if at all you develop, will be of some nuisance. If it is too troublesome, please report them. There are many more of similar working tablets. The doctor may switch to one of them. You can also weigh the risk vs. Benefit. Please remember, no pain, no gain.

Dear user first of all why are you taking medicines, you didn’t mention here if you don’t want to take medication for life time then please wake up yourself, medicines are not a perfect solution for mental health, you have to work on your own, your will power, your mind and thoughts. You are too young. But due to certain reasons if you are on antidepressants you have to take some extra care of yourself. I don���t know what are the circumstances under which you are taking medicines, I want to know the whole details about your disorder. But I must say don���t depend on the medicines and don���t make it a habit for future. You need counseling session for a better control on this disorder and medicines. Medicines are not the only solution, counseling is a best option for you so that you could better understand yourself and save yourself from the side effects of medicines. Please call and discuss your problem in detail and then i���ll be able to help you better.
