A clinical trial of 399 adults with long COVID in Brazil found that the antidepressant fluvoxamine significantly reduced fatigue and boosted quality of life compared to a placebo. Meanwhile, Metformin did not produce the same results.

The effect of fluvoxamine unfortunately looks quite small and it's unclear if it is clinically significant.

Would be interesting to have a replication study that not only compares fluvoxamine to placebo but another SSRI as well.

The last time I tried to go off of my meds was a disaster, so much so that I ended up on emergency Valium to get through the day until I could get fully back on my fluvoxamine.

...the 60-day clinical trial showed a 99% probability that fluvoxamine outperformed the placebo for reducing fatigue symptoms."

Some of you are mixing up the medication mentioned in my last post.
🔹Fluvoxamine (Luvox) – This is the one used in the long COVID fatigue trial
🔹Fluoxetine (Prozac) – This is a completely different medication

We have completed recruitment on our randomized clinical trial of fluvoxamine for treatment of long COVID, supported by the BALVI COVID FUND.
We expect we will be able to report results
~ March 1, 2025.

Fluvoxamine “may reduce PC symptoms because of its regulatory effect on the (neuro) immune system, the HPA axis and the tryptophan system.“
