I have been on Luvox since 2008. At first it worked remarkably well. Stopped my panic and helped my depression significantly. However around 2011 i started to have a return of symptoms. I tried to go up to the max of 300mg but sexual dysfunction kicked in also extreme fatigue and lower back pain. Since then I have tried adding different drugs to help the Luvox kick back in. Nothing has really helped yet. My doctor is really pushing to add seroquel to the mix. But I have taken that prior to Luvox in the past and it made me feel like a zombie. So i talked him in to giving me a script for imipramine. Hoping that i could eventually cross taper on to the imipramine. I am looking to have the antipanic and antidepressant effects of a drug without the sexual dysfunction. Any thoughts? I am currently on 200mg of Luvox and 25mg imipramine. Already noticed it helped my back pain

Luvox to Imipramine is an unusuall move. Imipramine is considered one the most effective antidepressants out there. BUT, you're going to have to expect more side effects with the imipramine.

Thanks. So do you think one would experience ssri withdrawal symptoms from tapering off of Luvox to imipramine?

I don't think you'll experience much withdrawal tapering off Luvox at all.
