> well, i am back on it after a year break. i take remeron too, so that sedates me until mid morning. the dosage is low now (25, and then up to 50). i have gone as high as 100 before, but the deadened libido became an issue. i am single now, so apart from interfering with 'self-love' its not an issue! i wanna be sedated, as the ramones say. my anxiety is killer right now, as i am ending a grad program and my head swims daily with assignments. i see the doc in a month after this trial.

>Just a note that the med might take up to 2-3 months to get *full* effect. I know Luvox has effects on melatonin levels, which is why it is likely more sedating. (It increases bodily melatonin levels.) But, if you can't tolerate the drug at all, it's best to either start really low and maybe work up, or move on to another one.
Good luck..
