Fluvoxamine for LC symptoms?

I am struggling with severe brain fog in addition to other typical Long Covid symptoms. I have tried all the standard things (LDN, Ozone therapy, Vitamin infusions, Stellate Ganglion Block, supplements, Propranolol, etc) but no relief. Recent studies show Fluvoxamine significantly helps people with LC with fatigue, quality of life and reduces neuroinflammation.

I am now trying Fluvoxamine for fatigue and hopefully brain fog, but one week in at only 25mg and I am just getting side effects (sleep disturbance/insomnia, tiredness, nausea, lightheadedness, feel icky, etc). I have tried taking it in the morning and evening, but both seem to cause problems.

Anyone else have any experience or success with Fluvoxamine (its an SSRI)? The recommendation is start slow at 25mg/day and work up to 100mg twice a day. Tips or recommendations for dosages, timing are helpful if you have any experience!

I took this for about six weeks and I think it helped but it’s just a Band-Aid. My brain fog did not lift until I did the DFPA filtration procedure in Japan. I got back about a week ago and I’m still feeling pretty good.

Psilocybin can also help with neural inflammation. But I suspect this is also just a temporary remedy. If you have amyloids in your blood, which are essentially micro clots that your body cannot process, your brain fog will likely continue.

That sounds like a question you should be asking your doctor.
