Ive taken this 250 mgs for about 2 years now and seems to be pooping out--just not working as well as it did


> > i take 250 mgs luvox daily and it is just not working like it use to. I increased it to 300 but it made my ocd worse, so i went back down. It is somewhat tolerable now, but just not the same. Anyone have any ideas would i could use to augment it? Maybe small dose risperdal (.5 mgs) or lithium? Suggestions needed...

I would go more for low dose Seroquel or something. Risperdal carries more risk for TD. But that's just my personal opinion. Also very low dose Risperdal actually can increase psychosis and D2 activity from what I recall.
