Fluvoxamine
In the double-blind placebo-controlled phase participants received one placebo tablet a day in week 1, then one placebo tablet twice a day (BID) in week 2 followed by a dose adjustment period from weeks 3 to 6 where the dose could be escalated by one tablet/day/week up to a maximum of three tablets twice a day. From weeks 7 to 10 participants received the same dose that was given during week 6. At the end of the 10-week treatment period there was a dose-tapering period of up to 4 weeks where the dose was decreased by up to two tablets/day each week. In the open-label long-term phase participants received 25 mg fluvoxamine once a day for the first week, 25 mg BID in week 2 followed by a flexible dose period from weeks 3 to 52 where the dose could be escalated by one tablet/day/week up to a maximum of 150 mg/day (three tablets BID). At the end of the 52-week treatment period there was a dose-tapering period of up to 4 weeks where the dose was decreased by up to 50 mg/day each week.
