I did at one time used to count all the time and add license plates up. At one time was on 250mg of luvox and felt good although with benzos. What type of OCD do you have as an anxiety disorder. Phillipa

I took generic, but can't really compare as I never took name brand. I'll let you know how it works. You can go to www.luvoxcr.com and get a discount card up to $50.00 off per script and is good for more than just one fill which for me worked out to be cheaper than generic.

thanks phillipa ---what is the manufacturer of your generic----i think i might take your suggestion and go this route---when i took the generic it was 150 mg at night...i've talked to a pharmacist who said he wouldn't pay the extra...also do you drink any caffeine on luvox??

Started 100mg Luvox CR Saturday night, forgetting I had a big presentation this week that I was going to wait until after that to start! Anyway, about the only side effects yesterday were tiredness. I didn't take last night as I'm going to wait till afetr Tuesday BUT I am amazed at how I feel today, like myself but no anxiety. Even though I have a lot of work to get done, I am not getting spun out about it. Also, I feel like doing my work versus how most other SSRI's feel which is like sitting on the coach and staring at the TV. I will start this daily but may switch to every other day if I can feel like this every other day!

I tried a half of a 5 Hour Energy and really didn't notice a problem with Luvox CR, although I do remember an issue with generic instant.
