I forgot to mention, you might have your doctor prescribe you a couple of 20mg Prozac. When you're ready to take your last dose of Luvox, the next morning take one 20mg Prozac and do the same the next morning. I've used this stratagy, which is what a lot of doctors use to cross-taper people off of SSRI's with short half lifes (Luvox, Paxil etc). It works well because of its 5-7 day half life. This is only a suggestion but it does work even with only a couple of doses.
