I was on luvox while I was inpatient at a treatment facility (anorexia/bulimia) and I HATED luvox.
I couldn't sleep, I feel hot and flushed all of the time, and the depression was awful.
When I was released from the tx facility, my pdoc put me on the 40 mgs of Lexapro.
No start up anxiety, as a matter of fact, lexapro made me feel more calm almost immediately. I love it.
Lexapro + xanax + lamictal seems to be a good combo for my Eating disorder, OCD and BPII.
hope this helps!Nolegirl323
