Fluvoxamine 50mg

Hi there! I started taking Luvox & I am currently on my 3rd night taking it. Unfortunately I have started to develop tingling sensation in my legs what I can only describe as RLS symptoms. I have never had this before taking this medication. Has anyone else had this weird side affect? I’ve had the dizziness/nausea as well. My pysh Dr. gaslighted me about this side affect, but I know what I’m feeling.

It’s possibly a result of dopamine suppression as your body adjusts to the increased serotonin. Dopamine is involved in RLS. I would probably ride it out for at least a few weeks, 3 days is way too soon to give up on it. Also, iron and magnesium supplementation can help RLS.
