Least risk in what sense? Can you explain this a bit more please?She is reluctant to try fluvoxamine because of its reputation (shared with paroxetine) of having a more side effects than the other SSRIs.
Strangely, she had side-effect trouble with citalopram and this is often considered to have the least side effects of all the SSRIs.
Thank you for any more info.
