In reply to 5mg of Pexeva paxil and 50mg of luvox good combo?, posted by Phillipa on May 18, 2008, at 13:25:17
> A week ago added 5mg of the new generic paxil to my 50mg of luvox and valium and wanted to know if anyone thinks it's good or bad combo and high high can you go without fear of serotonin syndrome. Know these are low doses. Thanks Phillipa
Those are incredibly low doses of both agents, and barely in the therapeutic range for most people, but everyone is different in how they process things. If you were at 200mg of Luvox and 40mg of Paxil, that would be a concerning combination, I would think.
Then again, I knew of someone with a touch of anxiety who was responding to 5mg of Paxil -- but each of these are individual cases of course.
And yes, if you are concerned I would direct this towards your doctor who has known you more. Personally, I don't think its anything to worry about but I metabolize a lot.
Hope that helps
