Well, luvox is a SRI. Most SSRIs are not really selective. Aside from perhaps escitalopram, they have secondary binding profiles.

Luvox has been studied for its binding to the sigma receptor. Sigma receptor agonists exhibit antidepressant and neurotrphic properties in their own right.

Sigma agonists can apparently also improve cognition, which may be behind the beneift seen in psychotic depression.
