Hi - what (specific) kinds of side effects does Luvox have? I did read that it has more drug interactions than Prozac and Zoloft, but did not know that it isn't a whole lot different. I figured it would be since it is targeted to OCD (rather than depression per se) and I know someone with OCD who is having great success on Luvox, but did say it makes her sleepy but she manages with that.
I tried Z (plateaued) and am "afraid" of Prozac because I hear it can agitate and heighten anxiety, and having just taken Celexa which has been called a "weak Prozac" had worse anxiety and obsessive thoughts while on it, I'm just not sure where to turn if the Effexor doesn't work (I shouldn't fear the worst and have a self-fulfilling prophecy, but I can't help it. I'm feeling discouraged and impatient titrating up gradually, waiting, etc.) Plus, I'm feeling very sedated with not even a full dose of Effexor. Ack!
