anyone tried luvox?

so i went to the doc and ten minutes after i sat down he was writing a script. i feel like im a hopeless case or soemthing. "oh, not her again, just write her a script and send her on her merry little way." anyway, im just curious if anyone has tried it, and if its good or not. so write me back. thanx...Jess

well, i did for a short while, only because i didn't want to be on meds, i was very depressed and didn't believe anything could help. it has relatively few side effects, so that's not too bad. i'm on effexor xr right now. i have been since may. the only side effect i'm still experiencing is poor sleep. other than that, it's been pretty good. i've been pretty happy.

i hope things are going well for you.

take care,

ok thanks. ive only been on it for a few days but i can tell thats its helping my anxietyalready because of the sedativeness of it. im sleeping too which is a bonus. ive been on effexor before its not bad, not for me but not bad. thanks for replying, hope effexor works for you. ...Jess

Good luck with the Luvox. I tried it and had very bad side effects from it-insomnia, hallucinations, extreme-nervousness and more. I gave it enough time and then went off of it. It was one of the worst experiences with antidepressants/anti-ocd I've had. But I'm glad it's working for you and just because I experienced bad effects doesn't mean you will. I think we may all find a drug that will be bad for us every once in awhile and that was it for me. Hope you continue to do well with it.

I'm on Luvox now. It really hasn't affected me in any way. I don't feel particularly better but I definitely don't feel any bad side effects. It has made me more aware of my ocd. My doctor recently has doubled my dose so I am supposed to now see if it is going to affect me somehow either way.

Jess, I just got off luvox I was taking it for over a year for myOCD and it worked great it took about a few days for it to kick in and then about 8 weeks later it realy helped me.
