> Jay what do you think of the new extended release luvox? Luvox has short half-life? Phillipa
A patent extender basically now that the fleeing from Columbine has settled. Luvox doesn't have that short of a half life, its close to 15-16 hours. If you're not taking a large amount you can take the entire amount at one point, especially when titrating up from zero to whatever dose you may end up at. The plasma steady state counts more.
Its probably not a good idea to take 200 or 400mg at once which could affect a sudden rush in plasma levels, so its split up into two daily doses at higher levels.
