11 years later and I still take a low dose of luvox it did help ocd which was also mild. I recently found out here that it also has some melatonin action. Only SSRI I have no side effects on. Phillipa

> thanx so muchhhhMarcus et al,
The poster here asks for others experiences with Luvox. Now as to if another's experience with a drug could be used to determine if you could take the drug is IMHHO a very dangerous way to determine that. This is all IMO because there is a great danger in using {anecdotal} reports in relation to taking mind-altering drugs, much more so than IMO using anecdotal experiences in, let's say, taking a drug for a bad cough. (not that I am advising the use of a drug for stopping a bad cough).
And be advised that I am prevented by the prohibitions posted to me here by Mr. Hsiung from posting a lot concerning these mind-altering drug that I think could lead you to a life of misery and then death. One could go to the admin boar dhere and see what this entails and how statements that could arouse hatred toward the Jews could be considered by a subset of readers to be conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of this community and supportive. One could also see degrading and dehumanizing statements directed toward me that also could be thought to be conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of this community and supportive. And all of that could be thought that it will be good for this community as a whole for those type of statements about Jews to remain to be seen as such.
This is important because those type of statements could decrease the respect and regard for me here and induce hostile and disagreeable and disparaging feelings and opinions against me here. This could IMHHO cause a subset of readers to discount what I post which IMHO could lead to your death or you getting a life-ruining condition or addiction. Her is an article concerning anecdotal as used here that I think could save your life and if you are swayed to discount what I post here by reading the hatred posted toward me here as being able to be considered to be supportive, I am so sorry my friend.

Hi, I couldn't sleep for more than a total of 6 hours a night for 3 years until I tried Luvox. It stops me from spiraling into deep dark holes and is the only thing that has helped me sleep. I doesn't make me happy, but when you are sleep; deprived for 3 years and something finally takes that away, you are willing to settle.

Babbler did you ever try to just stop it? I had a doc just take me off it said he wanted a baseline as I said I wasn't depressed. A mere 25mg and him adding first 6mg of Xanax extended release for a week & then 6mg of Ativan. I slept not at all and ended up going to the ER. The docs consulted with the psych unit downtown as not one in that hospital and scratching his head as he returned said no idea why but just start taking the 25mg of luvox again with the l0mg of valium I was taking. And I slept? Think it was luvox withdrawal? But such a low dose? Phillipa

Hi, I tried stopping and my sleep was interrupted and I couldn't sleep for more than 6 hours. I got back on 8 weeks later and I could sleep again. Since you mentioned withdrawal, I did experience a horrible withdrawal that made me very suicidal, but once that passed the insomnia still remained. I just think there is something that Luvox does to help me sleep, I'm not sure what.

It probably is its effect on melatonin. See this message:

Luvox was not helpful in treating my OCD. It excacerbated my mood problems and seemed to make me more anxious.
I would recommend Clomipramine.
