> Sertraline and Fluvoxamine have one thing in common: they both agonize sigma-1 receptors. So, if you respond to Zoloft, you may respond to Luvox.
Don't these two drugs act in an opposite manner with respect to sigma-1 receptors? I believe sertraline is an antagonist.
I found this article interesting regarding psychotic depression:

There is also some evidence that fluvoxamine (Luvox) can actually reduce the severity of akathisia produced by aripiprazole (Abilify).
