I've been taking 100mg of Luvox at bedtime for 2 years...I have been queasy for 2 years. I also take Ativan prn (sublingual). So, I thought, "Screw This", and proceeded to just stop taking all medications. By day #3 I was ready to perform the final check-out (but I was not queasy). I have never been so depressed in all my life. It was scary. Very scary. So, I am back on the luvox, feeling queasy and very frustrated. My pdoc is on medical leave, when he'll be back only God knows. My GP renews my pills, but he will not deal with anything else. At present, I am am being investigated by an Internist (maybe the Luvox has done something to my liver)...and the beat goes on. I have panic disorder, not depression...and I am really frustrated. I do not want to stop taking the luvox again because I definately don't want to end up in that black hole I was in for 3 days. What to do? Any suggestions?

No, but if misery loves company. Is their someone covering for your PDoc that you could see in the interim?
That's something about the Luvox. I was thinking of asking for it because it's supposed to help binge eaters. I just wonder if this whole Pyschiatry world we enter once we start taking medication is like the phrase from the Eagles' Hotel California: "You can check out anytime you'd like but you can never leave."
I've been off all meds for almost 2 months, went off for many reasons, but the main one was that I thought they were adversly affecting my endurance and I wanted to get back into marathon shape. What a joke. Getting out of bed now is a major endurance event.
Good luck. There are many others here who have medicine specific advice. You may want to rephrase your questions with Luvox in the subject title.
