In reply to SSRI Equivalency anyone?, posted by krybrahaha on January 21, 2004, at 23:02:41
Luvox is a very exceptional SSRI as it is metabolized at a different cite on cytochrome p450
That is, even if all SSRI's fail, Luvox may very well not fail.
I know this didn't answer ur question, but I believe that there is no real answer to it as each of them targets different symptoms (did I say that right?)
Like coming up w/ a benzo equiv. chart:
in my opinion that is only to be seen in regards to potency but not in respect to efficacy, as some may be efficious in areas where others are not.
Rohypnol (flunitrazepam) for example, cannot be put onto any scale with respect to its therapeutic effect on insomnia. It's the one and only and best. ...and believe me: I have been through the spectrum of benzos.
> Is there anyone out there who knows the equivalencys between the SSRI's? For example, 20 mgs prozac=40 mgs paxil <example
>
> Im on 300 mgs of luvox and i was wondering what the equivalent of that would be to all the other SSRI's
