In reply to Luvox. Anyone taken?, posted by elbee on October 24, 2008, at 15:42:06
I was put on Luvox for severe anxiety and depression, it did help with anxiety a little but not so much with depression, within 10 months I was on 300mg and had some bad side effects so I was switched to effexor which didn't help either. SSRI's and SNRI's don't agree with my chemical make up.
A very good friend of mine is BP1 and she has been on Luvox for years. It works quite well for her and she doesn't take anything else with it except for the occasional valium when she is having a hard time. Maybe 2 scripts of valium a year max.
Don't get me wrong, BP1 is a complex disorder and she still has bad days and sometime weeks but compared to anything else she has tried Luvox seems to be the best med for her. Good luck, peace C
