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, splash |

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.
