CJ,
I've just recently begun experiencing something similar; my doctor says that it is due to reduced levels of neurotransmitters, possibly caused by a reaction to Luvox.
Luckily, in animal studies, those with depleted levels of neurotransmitters were eventually able to replenish them to almost-normal levels. I'm hoping that I have the same response.
Is it possible that your experience could be due to the same thing? I have been pushing for further medical examination of this, despite my doctor's initial attempt to minimize the problem (they tend to feel that we 'head cases' are overreacting hypochondriacs), and hope that you do the same.
Good luck, CJ! Here's to hope.

p.s. I don't know where you live, but the evergreen has been a symbol of hope for me right now. I see it, green among snow, and am reminded that spring will come.
