> What happened on luvox? As it is the only ad I get no side effects on? Love Phillipa
Hi Phillipa,
I could not sleep, it was horrible. It would take me hours to fall asleep (even with Vistaril) and when I did sleep, I had agitating and frustrating dreams which in turn made me wake up with anxiety.I tend to blame Luvox for my increased anxiety as well. I was in an inpatient hospital setting when I was put on Luvox. Prior to being admitted to this hospital I was on 40 mgs of lexapro. They (hospital staff) said that I was on too much Lexapro, and that they could not justify having me on so much lexapro when there was another drug out there (Luvox) that has been approved for OCD.
So, they took me down to 20mgs of Lex, and added Luvox (50 mgs at first, then up to 75). I had more anxiety than ever, and, I had these hot flashes - I'm 25!!So, that is my personal experience with Luvox. We all react differently I suppose!
Have a great night!
