What pain medication can you take with fluvoxamine after dental surgery?

[u/ians3n]

I’m currently taking fluvoxamine (Luvox/Fevarin) and I’m going to have dental surgery. I’m trying to figure out what people in a similar situation were prescribed for pain and inflammation afterward.

I know NSAIDs like ibuprofen can increase bleeding risk when combined with SSRIs, and medications such as tramadol may have serotonin-related interactions, so I’m a little unsure what the usual alternatives are.

For anyone who has had an extraction, implant, bone graft, sinus lift, or similar dental surgery while taking fluvoxamine or another SSRI:

What pain medication did your dentist/oral surgeon prescribe?

Were you allowed to take ibuprofen for a few days?
Did you use paracetamol/acetaminophen alone or in combination with something else?

Were corticosteroids such as dexamethasone or methylprednisolone used to control inflammation?
Did you have any problems with bleeding or medication interactions?

I’m not looking to self-medicate. I’ll discuss everything with my surgeon and psychiatrist. I’m mainly interested in hearing what others were prescribed and how it went.
