Abstract :
[en] Fluvoxamine, a new antidepressant that specifically inhibits serotonin reuptake, was studied in 272 outpatients in a six-week multicentre trial in Belgium. On the Hamilton Depression Scale, the mean score dropped from 25.2 to 8 after six weeks (p<0.00001). The Clinical Global Impression scores showed similar evolution. Fluvoxamine is a real antidepressant with a marked effect on mood. Its effective dosage is 100 mg to 200 mg/day. Its tolerance, notably at the cardiovascular level, is excellent.
