How do you respond to fluvoxamine (Luvox)?
Fluvoxamine, along with its serotonergic properties, is a sigma-1 receptor agonist, which may act to mitigate the akathisia produced by neuroleptic antipsychotics. It will certainly be less apt to produce akathisia than other SSRIs. Sertraline (Zoloft) is probably the worst SSRI with respect to producing akathisia. This is not completely unexpectied, though. Sertraline is the SSRI that is most potent as a sigma-1 receptor antagonist.
How do you respond to clomipramine (Anafranil)?
