and this is why I believe my tele doctor prescribes Fluvoxamine along with IVM. I never filled the script as I do not like things that mess with serotonin re-uptake.

Here is the info the office sent:

FLUVOXAMINE 50mg twice a day for acute COVID-19 As of late April Fluvoxamine has been added to the FLCCC IMask protocol for acute COVID-19.

60 minutes report

Trials show this prevents severe disease and reverses COVID symptoms within 3 days if started early. It also seems to reverse long COVID in many patients within days. Dr Drew, a media personality, took it for long COVID and was 80% better within hours of the first dose and 100% better in 12 days. Fluvoxamine is an old psychiatric drug that blocks the cytokine storm from COVID-19 in the brain and body by its action on the Sigma 1 receptor - this is helpful because Ivermectin does not work in the brain where much of the damage can occur, especially with long COVID. A number of studies and case series on Fluvoxamine showing 100% efficacy in preventing hospitalization with COVID-19 as well as long COVID symptoms beyond 2 weeks. See skirsch.io and: tinyurl.com/COVIDFluvox for more details. The 50 mg dose is smaller than that normally used for OCD and has no side effects for the vast majority of patients. Also there are no psychiatric effects with a short 2 week course. Mirtazapine - another psychiatric drug once every night for 14 days is a recommended adjunct to this as it is complementary and lessens any side effects of fluvoxamine (rare to begin with).

When taking fluvoxamine:

NO CAFFEINE ALLOWED (or very very little - 1/10 of a cup) Fluvoxamine prevents the metabolism of caffeine so levels can build up and make you very uncomfortable after a while.

First, patients should avoid caffeine while taking fluvoxamine. It prevents the body from properly metabolizing caffeine, making it stay in the system 5 times as long as expected. This is not dangerous but can cause insomnia and jitteriness. If they must have caffeine, they should limit their intake to ½ of a small cup of coffee, or one can of soda, or one tea, in the morning. They can return to their regular caffeine intake once they have stopped taking fluvoxamine.
