In reply to Just started Luvox today!!!!, posted by RWF on November 15, 2003, at 20:39:46
I started Friday night. I've been on Wellbutrin for years and at one point, probably about 8 years ago, I started Luvox because my doc thought there was an obsessive component to my anxiety. It seemed to have a calming, positive effect, but my insurance wouldn't pay for it so I did without. After trying many other meds (Paxil, Prozac, imipramine, Serzone, and Effexor), I want to try Luvox again because I want to be able to enjoy life. Plus, Luvox is now on my insurance formulary, although it will cost me $60 per month even for the generic version.
I started getting some heightened anxiety even before taking my first dose because I've had a difficult time getting on meds in the past. I had to take 1 mg of Ativan to get to sleep that night. I was a bit anxious all day yesterday, but not much more than usual. I only took .5 mg of Ativan last night and I slept until 10 this morning. I think I'm doing pretty good regarding side effects with this med. I'm only on 50 mg. at bedtime right now. I am anxiously awaiting this kicking in as I am very tired of being depressed and nervous.
Good luck to you! I really hope this is the med for us!
