I'm not really an expert at getting off SSRIs I got off prozac but its half life is so long its very easy to get off. I do however know some sites that help with this.
One is the Yahoo group prozac awareness
You join and just ask the members for help.
Another is
www.paxilprogress.com
They seem to specialize in getting off SSRIs with short half lives and benzos as well.
Iknow they are advocates of only decreasing you dose by 5%. I don't know if luvox comes in a liquid form but that would help gradually taper down. They also say after you decrease a dose you should wait until your body feels stable then decrease. Those sites are antipsychiatry so you may find more support for stopping a drug than you would here.
Iatrogenic post-SSRI problems: anhedonia, memory and concentration problems, sexual dysfunction. (not a formal DX)
