gee, i've been taking fluvoxamine for a couple of years (brand name, Luvox).... and i haven't sprayed once. of course, i didn't spray BEFORE i took it, either, so i'm not sure how helpful my experience is..... in other words, it's a human antipressant, and i have no idea what studies if any have been done in our feline friends. i DO know, however, that it's the only medication of its kind that's had any positive effect on me, so i'm sure that it's the same in cats--find a vet who will work with you, and try the few things you haven't so far!
confinement to condo-cages, for as long as it takes (sometimes close to a year!), works well with inappropriate elimination problems, but spraying isn't exactly the same thing--and the incentive to keep one's own space clean can be mooted by one's just spraying OUTSIDE said space... if i really loved the cat and wanted to keep him, i guess i'd just find him a bathroom of his own--or cover vertical surfaces with easy-to-clean plastic sheeting.... (had to do the latter, actually, with a spayed female persian i had years ago.) there are yahoo groups for "special needs" cats, too, who might be willing to take him on as an only cat...
