In reply to Luvox--side effects?, posted by KimMcD on August 11, 2003, at 2:31:33

I've never used Zoloft, but I was on Luvox for four years. I'm *extremely* sensitive to side effects, and I took the Luvox at its maximum dose, so I would have to guess it was pretty benign for me. Of course everyone is different.

I didn't notice a lot of side effects at first, just a few brain zaps in the middle of the night. But by the end of the four years I hadn't had an orgasm for the entire time, I was apathetic and slept a *lot*, I felt completely stupid with a lot of memory loss, and it seemed to have a disinhibiting effect on my self injury urges. Oh, and I gained fifty pounds the first year.

But overall, it was still one of the best psych drugs I've ever taken in terms of side effects, and if I ever really need it, I will go back on it.
