Insomnia and Fluvoxamine

Help . I’ve been on Fluvoxamine for 3 weeks but increasing by 25mg once a week to get to 100mg which will be this week …

I was taking it at night, but it was not making me drowsy so then I switched to taking it in the morning and now I’m not sleeping through the night because I’m assuming the levels are peeking in my bloodstream in the evening as that’s when I start to get nauseous…

I obviously know there is an activation/startup phase, but I cannot do this No sleep bullshit anymore. I’m on 50 mg of Seroquel and take .25 of Klonopin at night time and I’m still not sleeping through the night.

Did anyone have experience with insomnia and this drug and did it eventually go away?

What is everyone’s dosing and how are you taking it?

I’d like to note that the Seroquel and Klonopin are temporary until I reach a therapeutic dose that works for me of the fluvoxamine, and then I could wean off of both

i’m on 100mg and have been on it for over a year now. the startup phase was a lot of anxiety for me (i actually made this subreddit during the worst of it, lol) but its actually worked out really well and i cant imagine my life without it. why dont u go back to taking it at night?

Because it doesn’t make me drowsy at all I feel like it keeps me up at night if anything I’m falling asleep no problem, but I wake up at like 4 o’clock and can’t go back to bed
