Hey Phillipa!
Wow, nobody else on here is using Luvox??? When I used to post a while back there were quite a few with OCD using it.
I'm not currently using it but am giving a restart great consideration. I, too, have to take benzos to sleep and that will be my saving grace for the insomnia that comes with Luvox.
My highest dose a few years ago was 300 mgs. It did help a lot. Knowing my pdoc, he will start me at 100mg and we will go from there.
The side effects do bother me though. I get what I used to call my "Late Afternoon Luvox Lethargy." I mean I am completely useless in the late afternoon.
I'd so much rather be able to tolerate Wellbutrin but I cannot bear the headaches.
How is your appetite on a low dose of Luvox? Do you find yourself motivated and getting a lot of things done? When I was on Luvox my appetite was slightly diminished and when I wasn't suffering from the somnolence I was gangbusters when it came to motivation and getting things accomplished.
I'm going to start another thread regarding Wellbutrin headaches, just to see if anyone has found a remedy. I need to prepare for my pdoc appointment next week.~M~
