How long do you take these ADs for Covid? I have the problem that they cause manic irritability in about 3-4 days, and teeth clenching. (however, with added AP like olanzapine - symbyax, it is not a problem).

Folks with a history of bipolar disorder (manic/depression is the older term) can have a manic episode triggered by taking an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) like Prozac or Luvox. The dose per the FLCCC protocol for Luvox (fluvoxamine) is 50 mg bid for 10 days if I recall correctly. Ten days isn’t long, but if one is risking a manic episode, it’s better to use ivermectin or even hydroxychloroquine if you can get one or both of these. Hope this helps.

Thanks - there is no way I could tolerate an SSRI for 10 days. I've been told I'm bipolar II for that reason.

Yes, that would be best to avoid those drugs then. I hope you can get access to ivy or HCQ.
