hello again....luvox is officially approved by the F.D.A. (in the u.s.) for OCD, not depression. this has appeared in my previous posts, i am sure, and you are not mistaken. the approval for OCD - and not depression - does not mean that it is ineffective as an AD, just as strattera - which is approved for ADHD - failed the first go-round as an AD and should not be ineffective as such, either. in any event, i personally have found luvox to be of utility, first in the mid-1990s and again as i write this. whether i can be pigeonholed as 100% OCD or other remains a mystery, as several medication cocktails have proven beneficial at various times. given that the drug was approved for OCD, i would certainly suspect that one should list it among first things to try if one is diagnosed as OCD, but other medications are equally if not more effective, despite their labeling....all the best, chemist
