Treatment of severe obsessive-compulsive disorder with fluvoxamine
Abstract
Ten obsessive-compulsive patients received single-blind treatment with fluvoxamine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, for several weeks following at least 2 weeks of placebo. The group showed significant improvement, as measured by several clinical scales and self-ratings; six patients were judged responders. Fluvoxamine appears effective in treating severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.
