> Did you gain weight on the Anafranil? How does the Luvox work for you in terms of anxiety? I find that Prozac and celexa both "amp" me up and I wonder if Luvox wouldn't do the same (and as a result make my ADD worse). Thanks Michael.
I went up and down in weight, but I don't think it was because of the Anafranil. I've only been taking the Luvox for a week now and all it seems to do is make me sleepy. I am pulling out of the critical stages of depression now but I'm not sure the Luvox has anything to do with it - I cycle. OCD seems no different yet. I really don't know about Luvox for anxiety but I do believe Anafranil helped. Like I said, anxiety isn't a problem for me anymore, though it was very bad for years and I'm afraid might be if I end up in an uncomfortable work situation - I tend to be social phobic in certain prolonged situations. I think I was lucky enough with the Klonopin and Anafranil and a stable and calm life situation to have had my brain rewire itself to not keep causing anxiety. Best wishes to you. Michael73
