Luvox is one of the sedating antidepressants. It has no anti-psychotic properties. It does have some mild anti-anxiety properties. Its still an SSRI though and thus you are still prone to akathisia if you are prone to that, as many anxiety ridden depressives seem to be.
Remeron is much better for really agitated, or psychotic depression.
Ive taken all the SSRIs at one time or another, Luvox included. I found it to be no different than zoloft, except you take it at bedtime and it is a little sedating.
