No, it wasn't Luvox -- Luvox was just made generic because it wasn't a selling point and they didn't apply for an ANDA for whatever reason so it fell off patent. There's nothing wrong with Luvox, fluvoxamine is quite a potent agent for OCD.
I was referring to Zimelidine which was made in the early 80s in Sweden and had disastrous consequences with all sorts of rare disorders. It is correct that Luvox followed afterwards in EMEA-land and wasn't marketed in the US until after Prozac, which was the second successful (technically, for our European friends) SSRI, and was also derived from an antihistamine, Benadryl.
