I don't know if all Luvox users would have the same problems. I'm Bipolar 3, possibly, or at least bipolarish. Luvox was calming on an outer level, but was agitating on a lower level. It also may have weakened inhibitions. I self injured for the first time on Luvox, and did it fairly frequently. Since going off Luvox, it's happened so rarely as to be a non-issue.
But I think that's likely not a problem for people who don't have bipolar tendencies. If you don't, you should be fine. And if it works, why stop it? You say you felt better on 250 mg than you did at any other time? I think I maxed out at 300 mg, and my doctor wanted to put me on a higher dose. Why not take the 250 mg if it helps you? Why stop it if it works for you?
