I’ve still got a bit of work to crack on with by tomorrow but it’s only two coffees later that I have the energy to rouse myself to do anything.

Mind if I ask what antidepressants (if any) you take, Ollie?

Have you ever thought about adding fluvoxamine to your treatment-regime? It’s more of an anti-obsessive-compulsive/social anxiety drug than a pure antidepressant but even as far as depression itself goes it is often quite effective and it has the added benefit of being effective in treating Covid (it’s a powerful anti-inflammatory). I know some people don’t like the way antidepressants make them feel when it comes to side-effects but as far as I know fluvoxamine (Luvox) is pretty clean as far as that goes.

Interesting, that's not one I've heard of. Would it be a replacement or addition?

I feel like fluvoxamine (which isn’t the same as fluoxetine, by the way, but I’m sure you could deduce that easy) and sertraline do two slightly different things so I’d use the fluvox. as an addition, buddy. I wouldn’t drop the sertraline just yet.

The whole point of me communicating this information to Oliver is so he can present it to a doctor/general practitioner (not that GPs on-average are trained to know too much when it comes to mental health but rather a little about a lot).

@ Oliver_W: you might want to give this video a watch in the meantime. By all means don’t just take my word for it but Dr Campbell indisputably knows his stuff: https://youtu.be/qrYj5VJKLIs
