No. I'm back to taking generic fluvoxamine 25mg. I was taking Effexor, but bounced back to fluvoxamine.
I was starting to stutter (rare for me) on Effexor.

I take the same with still the benzos and .25mg of lexapro. Have you had success with the small dose? Thanks Phillipa

The Luvox CR and Fluvoxumine ER are largely marketing ploys. You're just as well off taking regular ol' Fluvoxamine, which is what I take.

I don't think it is entirely marketing. I do notice that fluvoxamine tends to wear off by mid afternoon, when I take it the night before. I haven't tried an ER version, but it might help this. I don't know.

What about splitting the dose then half at night and half mid day? I've never tried this myself. Phillipa

I'm sure you're right, fluvoxamine has a particularly short duration of action. It is sometimes necessary to take the standard tablets in 2 divided doses per day.
I'd hazard a guess that the ER version would work out more expensive...

Regular is very inexpensive. PJ
