> Thanks so much for the thoughtful response Scott. I've tapered down rom 50 mg of Luvox to 3.5 over 8 weeks and I'm going to stop taking it in a couple of days. I guess I'll have to wait it out and see. How bad do you think my withdrawal symptoms will be , considering I was on a really low dose and I tapered down over 8 weeks?

I really don't know, but you did a good job of tapering. Perhaps the worst thing that can happen is that you experience some mild to moderate brain zaps that last for a day or two. I don't really think this will be a problem, though. Otherwise, you might get a headache, feelings of malaise or flu-like symptoms, or even a temporary increase in anxiety. If any of these things occur, I would not restart the Luvox. You can try taking some Benadryl (diphenhydramine) to treat the withdrawal symptoms.

I wish I had a more definitive answer for you.

Have you tried Paxil or Effexor? Was the Luvox chosen to treat OCD?
