I've started Luvox, at an admittedly low dose. I was on 300 mg for a long time, only on 50 now.
My experience in the past is that Luvox sends my emotional self far far away. So far away that it needs to shout to be heard, and then rarely. I'm not sure if my emotional self is stronger now and can withstand an SSRI.
My therapist seems to be disapproving, which is surprising to me. I thought he understood that this is something I *had* to do for self preservation.
Which is not to say that it's my emotional side that's causing the problem right now. It's not. It's my rational side. I'm paralyzed between what I know I should do, and the fact that I can't seem to do it and remain functional. Yet I can't not do it. Yet I can't do it. Yet other areas of my life aren't getting done, and they're also things I have to do. But I can't. Yet I can't not.
I'm like a deer caught in the headlights.
