Avatar f tn I also take Luvox and desipramine daily. Any chance this is too much? Really want to sleep but insomnia.
Avatar f tn The Luvox CR comes in 100 mg capsules. Would it be okay to take 200 mg of Luvox CR on one day and 100 mg of Luvox CR the next, and alternate since I can't divide the capsules? Thank you.
Avatar m tn During all this I started a new job and I would lay in bed at night and have bad anxiety and panic attacks and I could not sleep . I stated taking .5 alprazolam and it helped for a little while then nothing. My dr. Started me on ambien and lunesta with little relief from either drug. The I started 100mg of trazadone with my .5 alprazolam. I started with a quarter of the trazadone .25 and quickly went all the way up to 200. And still it was a coin toss if I was going to sleep or not.
Avatar n tn I took one 40mg pill of Latuda for six days and stopped and then about 40 hrs later took one 50mg pill of Luvox, and have been taking Luvox since then for a couple of days. I said, 26 hours at first but I counted wrong. Should I have waited longer before taking Luvox? How long before the Latuda is out of my body? I took my last pill of Latuda Tuesday, July 3rd at maybe like 11:00pm and my first pill of Luvox Friday July, 6th, around 12:00am.
Avatar n tn Took Viagra no problem went back on klonopin and luvox and didnt need viagra. Had another case of performance anxiety two years later and my obsessions started again. Used Viagra and then no problem.Met my wife 6 months ago again performance anxiety, took cialis and it worked until I made a decision to try celexa for two weeks and I dont know if it was my anxiety or fear or did it really kill my sex drive. Viagra or Cialis didnt work. Went back on Luvox up to 150mg and Neurontin 300mg 2x a day.
1320310 tn?1284834871 im having a hundred different emotions from that situation as well. has anyone had similar side effects from taking geodon and luvox and what are some side effects if any that i should look out for?
Avatar m tn I have an 11 yo daugthe ris being taken off of Luvox 50 mg after 1 1/2 yr. and going to start Cymbalta 30 mg. The doc said to just switch. Is this safe? Does anyone have any input? Please help!
404138 tn?1308941656 thanks cathy, I would consider AA except its primarily the anxiety thats the problem and the alcohol only adds to it, I guess you can say im a functioning alcoholic when I give in to it, but when Im strong and can handle the anxiety I dont touch it at all, so Im addicted when it comes to calming my nerves but I dont feel 100% dependent upon it, there are many days I push myself not to touch it and I succeed...Im really only working on getting rid of the anxiety...
Avatar f tn lUVOX IS FANTASTIC FOR MY DEPRESSION AND OCD. I also have the greatest therapist in the world. Along with his help, luvox has been like gold.
497950 tn?1255863927 Ask her why Luvox? It isn't used often, it has a very short half life, and interacts adversely with many medications. As for weight gain, you can gain weight on any of them. Or not. I was an avid basketball player, studied kung fu, and ran while on Paxil and gained 50 pounds. You just never know.
1041243 tn?1375230520 i was on luvox for many year's and it did great,then i had a down turn and went into depression and did not care about anything.so now i am on effexor.it seem's ok,but not as good as luvox was.they said after that many year's on it,it could have run it's course.so they changed it.i asked my doctor if i could go back on luvox because it worked really well for me,and she said that will definatley be open for disscussion.
Avatar f tn org talks all about anxiety, and which drugs work best for aniety and Luvox is one of them. Thank you so much for sharing with me. Have a wonderful day.
Avatar m tn t realizing from your post, I think, is that your wife has already quit this drug -- she tapered off it probably at a slower and safer rate of speed than most doctors and psychiatrists would have done. But Luvox has the shortest half-life of any antidepressant out there, which means it leaves the body very very quickly. That makes it hard for the brain to adapt to operating normally again.
Avatar f tn i have been on luvox for 1 year and its a very good medicine with minimum side effects ,so please give it a try and regarding weight gain i think it is the dullness caused by these medicines that we gain weight , which we can counter by exercises.
Avatar n tn My fiancé suffers from severe anxiety and has been taking 250 mg of Luvox daily. He is extremely exhausted. He can not even stand up, drive or be social involved. Feeling this way is even making him depressed and have no motivation. He already lowered the Luvox dosage a few times already. Is this medicine for him?
1041243 tn?1375230520 A week ago my psychiatrist stopped my 200 mgs of zoloft and started me on luvox 50 mgs a day for the first two weeks then 100 mgs a day there after. A couple days later I started expiriencing major withdrawal symptoms, severe anxiety and panic (more so than usual), insomnia, and some slight agoraphobia (I don't like to leave the house, but I will if I need too) and even stronger ocd symptoms.
286686 tn?1416012340 He is on 300mg of Anafranil since December and started Luvox at the end of December and doctor has been increasing the luvox, so he is now on 300mg of luvox as of two days ago. This is the strange part.....every time the doctor increased one of these meds, my son can feel a difference (thoughts are not that intrusive or severe), but this only lasts about 3-4 days and then he feels that he is back to where he started at the lower dose of 50mg.
Avatar n tn has anyone here ever been on LUVOX? any luck? Im on celexa for depression and anxiety and OCD. its helping my depression and anxiety, but not really touching my OCD like my doctor had hoped. He upped my dose last week and Im going to give it a few weeks to see, but if it doesnt seem to be working, Im going to ask him about luvox.
Avatar f tn Ok i am on luvox and alot of other meds. My main concern is that the luvox will counteract the adderall in some way. Does any one have any experince with this or can give me some info on how luvoz has worked for them?
Avatar m tn Have you ever considered getting treatment for the anxiety? A psychiatrist and counselor (CBT) worked with me in tandem when I went on Luvox. I felt like I was in good hands. I had moved away from the town I was in and lost touch with these docs, and then my general practitioner just kept refilling my Luvox for all those years. So, I recommend a specialist for anyone that is considering seeking treatment for OCD, anxiety, or anything like that, NOT just a general practitioner.
Avatar f tn Hi. I have panic disorder. Took Celexa for 7 years and it pooped out. Pdoc prescribed Luvox. Have taken that for five months and it's just not doing the trick. Still have anxiety and breakthrough panic attacks. He has given me the choice of lexapro or Zoloft. Since Celexa and lexapro are so similar, I'm concerned that the lexapro won't work given that the Celexa stopped working.
1903239 tn?1321679028 So about two months ago I got vertigo. It wasn't because of labyrinthitis (I've had that before, years ago) but because, according to my doctor, a very strict (carbs free) diet I have been doing. He gave me a couple of shots and prescribed me some meds. That cured it all. I feel like it is now slowly coming back though, and I am so afraid because I had never felt so sick in my life as I did two months ago. It took me like two weeks to recuperate.
Avatar m tn I am on Trileptal, Lamictal, and Luvox. The only reason why I am really confused is because we haven't made any medication changes for quite a while now. I was very stable for a while, and still am emotionally, but these nightmares and sweats are getting a bit concerning. I just don't like not knowing what is going on with my body. Can your medication start giving you side effects even after being on them for a long time.
Avatar m tn I suffer from DPD, Anxiety, Panic disorder and OCD. I also take Luvox 100mg at dinner time at about 6pm. I just want to know how long a part can you take these medications? I don't exactly want to take them together unless they interact with each other.
