I went to a fairly smart P'doc today and was diagnosed (again as in the past) with major depression/generalized anxiety/panic. Because of my trials with several antidepressants, he decided to try me on Luvox-50mg, and to switch me from 1.5mg xanax to 1.5mg- >2mg klonopin. I have searched through the old post and came up with, well, just about nothing that answers the questions and concerns I have with this new combo.
What will I expect from Luvox? I haven't been on an ssri for about 8 months, the previous drugs being prozac, paxil, zoloft-all poop outs.
I have had some sexual disfunctions on my xanax/elavil combo. Will the luvox help or hinder?
I need relief from the depression soon or I am going to go crazy, so has anyone had a dramatic mood lifting from this drug, or in general is it a waste of time?
When starting prozac and zoloft, I could tell within two weeks that they were definitely working. Paxil only made me tired and worsened my condition. How does Luvox compare with the other ssris?
And on a final note, 1.5mg xanax is equivilant to ??mg klonopin, length of drug action set aside.?
Thanks ya'll for your support and knowledge. I need to get my brain functioning again and will be greatful for any info, especially on the Luvox.
