In reply to How do I switch from Luvox to Lexapro ??, posted by lawrence s. on October 10, 2002, at 23:28:22
I also went from Luvox to Lexapro. I stopped the Luvxo on my own for 4-5 days. When I saw PDoc he said it was ok to immediately start the Lexapro at 10mg per day. I had no withdrawal problems from the Luvox and I was also on 100-150mg per day.
As a aside, I posted yesterday on a Wall Street Journal article. It said that Luvox was pulled from the market due to misinformation submitted to the FDA. My PDOC or pharmacist never told me this and I had called because they had refilled my script with the generic instead of the brand name. I'm a little miffed, because even if it was a "misunderstanding or unintentional error" by Solvay, and it is indeed safe, I believe the pharmacists and Dr.s owe us the scoop.
BTW - I like Lexapro.
