Common Questions and Answers about Luvox and social anxiety

zyvox

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?
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 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.
1060016 tn?1337311969 In 2002 I started taking luvox 300mg a day. Also clonazepam, and valproic acid. I was 22 in that time, and I did well for a while, even a couple of years ago I started taking only 150mg luvox. Now my OCD symptoms are still low, but the panic attacks specially when I go out to the street or a public place are greater than ever. Is it possible that medications stop making effect, or that the biological changes in our body due to normal growing make the dose become less than required?
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.
497950 tn?1255863927 zombie effect has set in...anxiety is worse and I am more suicidal now...so luvox is not for me...I was so hopeful too...I see pdoc day after tomorrow...also I have no ability/desire to get off my *** and run like I usually do and when I get started I can't keep going past a couple of miles...so any other suggestions anyone?
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 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 f tn m on other meds as well for this including anxiety. I just wanted to know if anyone on here has been on it and if so how you're doing with it. Thanks.
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 m tn Risperdal is a common drug form anxiety, it is an anti-psychotic at much higher levels. I take Seroquel for my anxiety, it takes it down to a dull roar.
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.
Avatar f tn does anyone have any experiance with this or can recommend another medicine that may work for my ocd and anxiety. my ocd is the scary thoughts and it was all caused after a major surgery i went through. it is getting better but i still have some issues.
Avatar n tn Even so I am still dissatisfied with where I am right now, as I still show very many symptoms of OCD and anxiety. My doctor has mentioned both anifanil and luvox as alternatives, but I am somewhat reluctant to change what I am on now since I am "stable" and fear I could get worse if I change medication, at the same time I know that I am still suffering from the effects of OCD.
1041243 tn?1375230520 I have ocd, gad, and moderate depression (all have been formally diagnosed). 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.
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 The symptoms you describe could be withdrawel symptoms and tapering gets away from that or frankly, they could be the return of anxiety/depression symptoms.
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.
1237495 tn?1268837283 I SUFFER from deep depression and deeper anxiety. Mind races my luvox helps during the day with my mind racing...and celexa and xanax at night for insomnia. Xanax cause I can't even pump gas without feeling anxiety.
Avatar f tn I am was taking 30mg of adderall twice a day with 300mg of wellbutrin this seemed to be a good combo for my depression and add. I have recently been put on librium and propanolol for anxiety, thats all good. What I Am really.worried about is the 10mg of abilify they put.me on to help other anti depressant work. They also put me on luvox for OCD. i have heard good and bad things about these combos with adderall. I dont want them to counteract the drug. So any thoughts would be great. Thanks.
5154541 tn?1366808691 Hello, it's been about 5 days since I've used the meds and I feel that it's slowly working, which for me is great!!! And no it's no harm whatsoever thoughts. I actually see my doctor next thursday and along with the Luvox I'm taking half of a pill of .5mg xanax. And it seems like it's working for me. THANK YOU for the advice it means a lot to me! And to be honest I think I'm beginning to feel like my old self again! But once again thank you!!
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 f tn Of course I am positive for anxiety, the need to crack my chest bone, heart pumping out of my chest kind of anxiety. Mood swings. Emotional and angry. Weakness and pain in the hands and forearms. Dizziness and "balloon head" or feeling of being disconnected from my own body. Hot flashes (I am usaully always cold). Feeling as if I am going to pass out. Insomnia and horrible, jump out of my dream, nightmares.
Avatar m tn I had been feeling great for the last two weeks and then suddenly, my anxiety came back. Slowly at first and then pretty hard today. I had hoped that the zoloft would keep the depression and anxiety away. I am seeing a therapist for CBT as well. My depression is still under control but the anxiety is bad. Shouldn't the zoloft take care of the anxiety?
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.
